Eu sou o mensageiro

Markus Zusak

4.01 AVERAGE


I kept reading because I wanted to know the ending. I liked the story, but it didn't completely grasp me. I feel somewhat disappointed. Yet it was worth the read. Confusing, I know!

Si quieres saber,pregunta; si pretendes ayudar,actúa; si quieres cambiar, no esperes.
El mensaje es bueno, en ocasiones la lectura se hace un poco lenta,aun así muy buen libro.

Didn't love this one the way I loved the Book Thief, but still liked it very much. Sometimes it's a little long on the mother-hate, and, a little repetitive with Audrey, and some of the tasks, enjoyable nonetheless.

can i be markus zusak, even if just for a day? please?

“Sometimes people are beautiful.
Not in looks.
Not in what they say.
Just in what they are.”

but the best - and what i consider a spoiler in this review: “... if a guy like you can stand up and do what you did for those people, well, maybe everyone can. Maybe everyone can live beyond what they’re capable of.”

and so many other beautiful quotes.

good God. wow.

This book is so different to any book I’ve read. It’s like a surrealist painting located in a very real, down on their luck, Australian town. The journey was surprising and twisty and the ending left me confused but also somehow made sense in the context of the whole journey. It’s a captivating book but definitely have to be prepared for something unlike anything else.
