A Book I Just Finished....I Am The Messanger by Markus Zusak

Ed Kennedy is an underage cabdriver without much of a future. He can't play cards, is completly hopelessly inlove with his best friend Audrey, and things are looking like business as usual until the day he stops a bank robbery and he gets the first ace in the mail. Ed becomes the messanger, chosen to care, helping and hurting (when necessary). He becomes devoted to his mission, changing people's lives through small acts of caring. Until he realizes by changing others, he changes himself. "If a guy like you can stand up and do what you did, then maybe everyone can. Maybe everyone can live beyond what they're capable of" (Zusak 357). This book has the reasuring message, that if Ed Kennedy can do it, so can all of us. I just recently finished this book and it pretty much tops my favorite book list and favorite author. With stunning truth and brillance that is Markus Zusak, this book shows the huge effects of small actions and the message that we all can make a difference.
