I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak

I got weird feelings while reading this book, like something deeper was happening, it gave me odd shivers at times that I could not explain. I really liked the end, and how it did not end up where I thought it was going. Ed is a likeable guy who stops a bank robbery and then starts getting mysterious playing cards with names or clues on them, leading him to reach out to strangers, neighbors, family & friends. For the most part I liked the way he handled each situation, and I really loved the writing itself. There was a lot to think about while reading this, but also plenty of laughter and light spiritedness to keep the story flowing in an engaging way.
