I don't believe I've ever received such a beautiful message from a book. 
 "I Am the Messenger," by Marcus Zusak was more than a novel; I think it was an idea; I think it's a goal that he's written, that he wants all of us to have for ourselves. 
 'I Am the Messanger' delves into a sort of existentialism that I've rarely encountered in books. I think it's wonderfully thought-provoking, and it has just the right touch of humor to keep it light and entertaining at the same time. 
 The surprises are endless, especially at the end. I've never seen the fourth-wall shattered with so much glory. 
 It's a marvelous work of fiction.
