superb !! i've only found out this book is aimed at teens ? doesn't seem right but never the less a great book it was just a change to read something different it was great writing and the chacaters were just so close to your heart by the end a really warming story. just take a chance and give it ago can't belive its not more popular.
Another chance? I read "The Book Thief" and hated it - couldn't see why it deserved so many good reviews!

Wonderful book Like the other reviewers, I read this book because I enjoyed The Book Thief so much. I Am The Messenger is a very different book, but, I think, equally as brilliant.

The book is very uplifting but never wallows in sentimentality or emetic sweetness. If you like things that are quirky, and a little different, then give this book a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
