nkives 's review for:

I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak
3.0

Going through it books, reading 95% of it, I thought I was going to give this at least a 4 star, maybe even worth a 4.5 if I could, but the ending was so disappointing.

It felt like the author was writing this great story and then all of a sudden was like, "oh damn now how the hell am I supposed to end this." Then he just made up some BS to give it a conclusion.

I read this cause it was nominated for a Printz award, and I heard it was good, but didn't know anything about the ending. It might still be worth a read if you just forget about the last 10 pages or so.
