I Am The Messenger

By Markus Zusak...recommended to me by a local teen that frequents the Library.  I decided to take this book on vacation with me and read it before the place reaches 10,000 feet so I could read my Kindle.  Well, the plot and characters sucked me in enough that I kind of forgot that I was reading anything on my Kindle.  Ed Kennedy is 19 (but has lied to get a job as a taxi driver and said he is 20).  He lives in a shack with a big smelly dog.  He plays cards with his friends and he is in love with one of his friends...but after a bank robbery he starts receiving cards in the mail with cryptic instructions...who is sending these cards?  Why are they sending them?  And...some of these tasks aren't so easy.  What does it all mean?  That is all I will say!  I would recommend for adults and older teens...there is some questionable materials...though that is not the focus of the story!
