Summary
Add a SummaryEd captures a bank-robber and then he is considered as a "hero" in the newspaper. His life changes from that moment on : he gets unanymous cards with adresses or names. He knows he has to help those people somehow, but will he be able to do it or will he give up? After all, he's just a regular boy with no superpowers at all. Just him, a cabbdriver.
nice to read a story were the protagonist isn't some superhero, genius, incredibly good looking or whatever. He's just you're typical below the average guy who happens to be in love with his best friend. After accidently stopping a bank robbery- he constantly gets cards with adresses of people who need his help. It goes to show that even the ordinary people can do extraordinary thins.

Add a CommentIt was a really good book. It had me thinking about what was going to happen next throughout the time that I read it. There were heart-warming moments, sad moments, and intense moments all mixed in.
Adorable!!
I like how this book made me feel adventourous inside of me everytime he got a new card. This is a good read.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Loved this book! the setting was perfect and the plotwas amazing. awesome!!!
The best book I have read in a long time. Zusak's writing pulls on my heartstrings almost as much as Ed's love for Audrey.
Well this book, in my opinion, was absolutely brilliant. I really enjoyed the humerous writing style, the tasks, and just about everything else. It's very different to the book thief, but no less amazing. I highly recommend this book!
This bulk of paper and words, I gaurantee, will make you feel human. That sounds really confusing, I know, but when you read it you'll understand. This is one big slice of life lemon pie: it's tart, but there's still a large dollop of whipped cream on top.
Heartwarming, funny, and creative. Ending is questionable though. Nice to see how Markus Zusak transitions form something like this, into the Book Thief.
I wish I could read it again for the first time. I wish Ed Kennedy were real and he was my friend. He is a very relatable, funny, real and likable character. Zusak has a unique writing style that brings Ed and the other characters to life. I think that Zusak was sending us as readers an imporant message-maybe I should be more like Ed Kennedy.
I didn't love the book but the writting was very good. I couldn't totally get into the story until part 4. From that part onward I enjoyed it. I LOVE how the author incorperates the first line of the book!
