I Am the Messenger by Markus Zussak

The last book I read is I am the Messenger by Markus Zussak. I found this book to be very interesting. Ed Kennedy, the main character, receives messages of tasks he must complete from an anonymous source. He ends up helping a lot of people overcome their hardships. From the beginning, the book is immediately engaging. From the first scene, the book is very funny. All of the characters each have their own mysterious traits. For example, Marvin, one of Ed's friends, has thousands of dollars in the bank but refuses to spend a penny. Also, almost all of Ed's friends are pathetic. All they do is play cards and drink beer. However, the way that Ed's situation affects him and his friends is very interesting. Overall, this book is very enjoyable from beginning to finish.
