I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak
3.0
This books message is quite nice, "Faith in humanity restored" kinda thing.
If you are an introvert or are plagued by an incessant inner dialague I would give it a pass, because this book sounds like a never ending speech with self, thankfully the only thing you have to do to make it stop is putting the book down for a while, I wish it were that easy all the time.
The book is good, sometimes wordy, but good, not that it's long, don't get me wrong, it's not. But wordy in a repetitive sort of way, eg. "Tomorrow I am going there. The day has come, I am thinking of my decision of going there and don't feel to sure, but I push myself to do it. I am finally there (or here) I am summing up the courage to do it. I am doing it. I have done it. I tell someone what I did".
But this is coming out as if I hadn't enjoyed it, which I did.
The story is good, it will leave some imprint in your mind or maybe your soul.
I think anyone could identify with at least something that is happening to someone in the book.
The characters evolve nicely, they are well defined in a limited sort of way.
Not really a "must read" but maybe a "would be nice if you read" kind of book.
