I am the messenger

in the book i am the messenger by Markus Zusak we have a 19 year old teen named Ed who has an average life that he shares with his three best friends audry marv and richie he also has to deal with his other who is a very heavy drinker. after the loss of his father Ed took in his fathers dog the door man. he makes a stop at the bank with his friends when suddenly the bank is being robed as the robber is leaving ed picks up his gun and shots at the robber making him semi famous. when all the fame stops comming in ed is back to his regular self or so he thinks when he gets a playing card in the mail with names on it he trys to figure out what to do the book takes many twists at this point and ed is left alone to figure out how to deal with the misterious cards he gets in the mail. this book has jsut about everything a person would like in a book it has dramtic fighting sences and also has the love that one person would find in a less dramitc book i give this book a very high 8/10 and thats only because in the end he dosent seem like he knows how to end the book but besides that fact Markus Zusak uses any great things in this book to make it a book you knew want to put down. I wish that this book would use more passion in it because it seems like when he was writing the book it just kind of happened he didnt try to make the book amazing he was ok with good.
