    one of the best books ever

    this book is hard to explain other then it is a great book there is many adult themes but this book is really good one of the stories is a old lady whos husband died and mistakes the main charater for him after reading to her a couple times she asks him if she was a good wife after reassuring her that she was she breaks down crying while this is sad she finally got the conculsion she wanted or when there is a girl who runs barefoot she is training for a race but she has very little selfconfidence he gives her an empty shoe box which doesnt make her win but she gives her oppent a run for her money all in all this book is great for anyone who is willing to read it

    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate language
    • Negative role models

    Writing on the book is hard.

    I liked the book. If your writing a paper with the climax and stuff its hard because most of the book is the climax. The theme is complicated too...

    ...

    Fabulous. Absolutely Fabulous. You absolutely have to read this if you enjoy Real-to-life fiction, like I do. If you liked this book, you'd like The Book Thief and Getting the Girl, Also by the same author. Also, I suggest that You read the Collection of books By Stephanie Meyer. They are very similar to this book, no only in content, but the fact that the most unexpected things happen. They throw you around and mess with your brain, just like any good book should.

    What trash!

    I cant believe people write such trash and it actually gets published. This normal guy is "the messanger" after he stops a bank robbery. Hes nineteen and hes an underage cabdriver. language like dickhead, s---, s---head, arsehole, etc are frequently used. The "messenger" is obsessed with his best friend/girlfriend and has many... fantasies. Absolute trash, where did the good, fun, clean stuff go?

    SO GOOD....until the end

    This was such a good book that when Mr. Zusak messed up the end of it I was incredibly diappointed. There was so much potential for it to be the perfect book. I won't spoil the ending, but in my opinion it was like Mr. Zusak was in a hurry to finish it and just gave it the "mysterious stranger comes along and reveals everything" ending. AAAAARG! Why? WHY? The entire book was so imaginative and original! Why ruin it with a boring and already-been-used-countless-times ending?!?!?!

    love it!

    this book kept me awake, with it's constant twists and turns. It has an excellent plot, and incredible artistry. There's even a love story sort of thrown in there... but not in a discustingly mushy way. This book forces you to think about how much we really do.

    a GREAT book

    this book is excellent. There are twists and turns on every corner. It has a little bit of a love story, a little bit of mystery, action, and a lot more. You would enjoy this book if you like twisty turny books. I couldn't wait to see who was sending the cards. But if you are into fantasy books, this book is not for you.
