I Am the Messenger - Markus Zusak I love Markus Zusak. I love how he writes and I love the messages hidden or revealed in each book. The Messenger is a heartwarming story about Ed Kennedy, a cab driver that amounts to nothing that suddenly becomes the messenger. If you're wondering what exactly does he deliver, I invite you to read the book. It is thrilling, full of loving characters and wonderful moments that necessarily define life itself. It's fantastic. Seriously.
