But I'm 25 now, so I thought it was good. Especially (obviously) good for teens. The book's about a message and it gets it across well and the narrator is a really relatable guy, so there's good reason to recommend it. I didn't always love the style Zusak used, though. For one thing, the book's not tightly written. If I were editing it I'd hack out most of the passages where the narrator just goes on and on about his emotional state, overusing so-so metaphors and cheesey poetic conceits. I got a little impatient getting through that stuff. Still, a pretty cool, meaningful book. Not as good as [book: The Book Thief], but what is? Amazing and extensive use of literary devices. Personification, metaphor and simile, yes, but richer than those, too. The author has an excellent eye for turning intangible actions and feelings into tangible actions and feelings using the aforementioned devices in ways most authors fail to do. I think this expressive writing is what hooked me the most in this book. Good literal literary twist at the end, too! È contenuto inPremi e riconoscimentiMenzioniElenchi di rilievo
Ed Kennedy fa il tassista abusivo, è innamorato di una ragazza che desidera al punto da non riuscire nemmeno a sfiorarla e vive insieme a un vecchio cane pigro e puzzolente. Finché un evento imprevisto non sconvolge la sua esistenza: dopo aver sventato quasi per sbaglio una rapina, ed comincia a ricevere strane carte da gioco seguendo i loro criptici messaggi, inizia a compiere imprese da vero eroe. Chi si nasconderà dietro quelle carte? Quale sarà il suo oscuro scopo? E soprattutto: aiuterà Ed a conquistare la bella Audrey? Età di lettura: da 12 anni.

Ed Kennedy had no purpose or goal in life. He was a taxi driver, with a dog.called "doorman" because he just sits and watches the world go by. His friends were also pretty "lost". He gets a playing card that he has to decipher. with this he helps each of his friends find a purpose or work through their difficulty to move on. the fourth card is for him and he figures out how to "participate "in the world and not just be a spectator.
first part is better than the end, which seems a bit contrived. fun reading ( )
