I am the Messenger By Markus Zusak
There are no vampires or zombies, no big romance, no soldiers. It's about a 19 year old cab driver who hangs out with his friends. He accidentally becomes a hero when he stops a bank robber. Soon after he get's playing cards with strange mysterious messages. He goes on a sleuthing journey and ends up helping people along the way. Very well written. Not for immature audience. There are lots of layers to this book about finding oneself. It is a good story. Well crafted. A bit strange but good. I listened to it on audiobook. The audiobook was voiced well and interesting.
