I had a friend recommend this book and I am so glad she did! This is the second book I have read by Markus Zuzak and he did not disappoint. As I have said before I love Zuzak’s writing style and the way he paints a story and develops characters. I think Ed Kennedy was such a realistic and very likeable character who may not have the best job in the world and his romantic life was non-existent but he does not look at the world in a negative way. I have never read anything where the main character’s profession is cab driving but it made me think about what an interesting job that would be considering all the people you would meet.Is unassuming guy with is his peaceful routine inadvertently stops a bank robbery and his life is forever changed. After that is his first Ace comes from a deck of cards and arrives with a message which is basically challenge to change the world and help others. So Ed becomes the messenger and in the process he learns about himself and what it means to have awareness of other people’s struggles and successes. So good and life changing!
