I Am the Messenger

Although vastly different from Markus Zusak's other book The Book Thief (which I LOVED!!), I am the Messenger was still a wonderful and inspiring read. Maybe my own life experience had a hand in this being such a personal read, but I loved that it gave lots of food for thought in such a unique way about life and our participation in it. About the people around us and how opening our eyes to the possibilities of what we can achieve, even in the here and now, right where you are in your life, changing for the better in small ways that make such a huge impact on your own life, and that of others. I loved the overall message, once again Zusak has hit a chord in his writing that I will not soon forget. This story will stick with me for a long time to come!
