Major Theme
editHillias J. Martin complemented Zusak's characters styling and conversations are believably unpretentious well conceived, and appropriately raw.[1]
Character
editHillias J. Martin described the character Ed Kennedy as being a nineteen year old who has nothing in life to really be proud of due to the death of his dad from alcoholism, and low amount of success in life.[1]
Plot
editHillias J. Martin said that the plot of I Am the Messenger is mostly about Ed embarking on a series of missions as random as a toss of a dice, and also added that it was daredevil ling, yet sometimes heartwarmingly safe.[1] Kliatt tells us that Ed Kennedy must go to a house where a husband comes home drunk every night and rapes his wife; to a home where a sweet if senile old woman is lonely and missing her dead husband; to the aid of a teenage runner who lacks confidence; to a church that needs a congregation. And in the end Ed is even sent to fix his friends’ lives.[2]
