I just finished reading I am the Messenger by Markus Zusak. I had read a review, ordered the book and then sent it home with my TA, Tara. She read it quickly and returned it to me. Her only comment was, "Mrs. Villers, you need to read this book."
Many of you may know Markus Zusak from The Book Thief, a fabulously written book. I am the Messenger pre-dates The Book Thief, but has gained notoriety due the the popularity of The Book Thief.
I could "booktalk" this book for you, but I think I will quote my wonderful aide, Tara. You need to read this book. . . If you don't read YA, I think this would be a good one to try. Quick YA warning: this book does contain language, but it fits the story. If you are thinking about branching out into the YA genre, this is a great starting book - Enjoy!
