I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak

4.0

Little back story to how I ended up with this book: I found it on a cart while wandering around in HPB while the YA section was way too crowd for a Tuesday. It was supposed to be my "light" read for my summer trip but I ended up just not bothering to take it with me. Long story short after reading this book, I feel like I've aged 10 years reading through some of the heavier themes that got me thinking deeply. Overall, I felt like I was Truman of the Truman Show, given clues to do something about anything that is thrown at me in Ed's shoes and in the end, Ed was there to tell me there's more to life if I just live beyond the worrying that is my mundane routine. Honestly there's so many take aways from this book but this particular meaning hit me the hardest. Fantastic read. 4.5 Stars.
