The Messenger - Finished

I finished "The Messenger".

It reminded me of the short story "Button, Button".

I plan to buy all of Zusak's books. I've enjoyed his writing style and delivery.

Still Reading...

"The Messenger"...

I loved the tie-in to literature with the third card having references to authors. Ed visited the library and searched the shelves for the titles on the card that eventually led him to the next addresses in his message delivery missions.

I spent several minutes trying to convince a student to read one of the books that Ed was searching for in the library. I finally put "The Bell Jar" in her hands by explaining that Sylvia Plath met her demise in her kitchen oven.

Literary gain knows no boundaries :)
