This book was absolutely amazing. It grabbed me from the first sentence. It really sends a positive message. I just wanted to keep reading, and reading, and reading...and all of a sudden I was done. The plot was exciting, suspenseful, and heart warming. It also has humor which I love. Recommend for ages 15+. Definitely one of the best books out there :)

This book is a grasping good read that will get your attentions on the line from the beginning. And could never put this book down! definitively the best book i have read. :)

It was an awesome book and by FAR the best ive ever read. It really inspired me to dig deeper in life and see all the positives. Ive got all my friends to read it, although there is a bit of bad language and they are good role models, its an amazing book and gives a good moral to life. Reallly recommend!!

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...

I am the Messenger is a highly informative book in the sense that it correlates the commonalities of everyday life with acts of extraordinary measures. The lead character is a very average person, but he learns that he can make a drastic impact. I think that is a message that should be conveyed more frequently in literature. The characters are easily related to because of their flaws and their diverse and unique personalities, these seem like people you would know personally and by the end of the book, you feel like you do. The book does contain some explicit content in the fact that the lead character's best friend and love interest is frequently engaging in sexual activity and it does show a negative approach to sex, so I wouldn't encourage parents to let their young children read it, only if you feel your children have a clear and proper understanding of sex and wont be effected by such a view would I say anyone under at least 12 should delve into the books material. There are profanities in this book and although this makes people unsure of it's moral, I think that the language and dialect of the characters better brings out and defines their personalities and makes them more believable as real world people. I read this book when I was 14 and I loved it. I found it entirely engaging and wanted to explore more of Mr. Zusak's work. He is now one of my favorite author's I would definitely suggest his books to anyone who asked.

Well i like this book i did not whant to put it down but it had a lot of sex in it and i was only 12 when i read this so it was a little like oh my goodness but. over all i like this book its really deep

I loved this book. i used it in a school book report and it worked terrifically. the best book ever!!! =]

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.

This is one of my all-time favorite books. It has positive messages, without seeming too preachy. It can, however, be a tad rough at parts, with beatings and talk of sex (though it is never graphic). The bottom line is that, yes, read it, but be wary for young teens.
