The first book I read by Marcus Zusak was "The Book Thief". It was a Christmas present that I had shelved for a long time, thinking it was going to be moralising tripe like Chicken Soup for the Soul, which is more like Fish Food for the Brain. I was pleasantly surprised.
Many people write books; Zusak tells stories. He tells them in a way that makes you forget he exists, in a way that lets you drift off into his world.
"I Am the Messenger" is quick, pleasant read that will make you feel good about yourself. Perfect bedtime reading.
