A review by librarybonanza
I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak

5.0

Ed certainly never thought himself to be better than what he was. He just existed--just was. Until a card arrived with three addresses. Without instructions, Ed must interact with strangers, figuring out how best to influence them in a positive way. But who is behind this game?

Dat ending, tho.

Spoiler

So, we find out that Ed has been set up by the author--as a character. But Ed does not know that he is a character and is baffled by the realization. In another twist, Ed says that he will write a story about his experiences that begins the same way this novel begins. So, is he the author? Which came first then? The author or the character? My mind is slowly melting. In a good way.
