Cover synopsis: Ed Kennedy's life is one of peaceful routine and incompetence utnil he inadvertently stops a banik robbery. That's when the first ace arrives in the mail. Chosen to care, he makes his way through town helping and hurting (when necessary) until only one question remains: Who's behind Ed's mission?
The premise of this book intrigued me. Unfortunately, that premise became more and more contrived as the story went on. And the ending was incredibly unsatisfying and unbelievable. Not to mention Zusak's infatuation with profanity gets old really quick.
But still, I appreciated the message of the book: That by losing yourself in service to others, you find yourself.
