Besides that...Meet Ed Kennedy—underage cabdriver, pathetic cardplayer, and useless at romance. He lives in a shack with his coffee-addicted dog, the Doorman, and he’s hopelessly in love with his best friend, Audrey. His life is one of peaceful routine and totally unproductive until he stops a bank robbery. That’s when the first Ace arrives. That’s when Ed becomes the messenger. . . .As Ed puts himself into these strangers' lives he learns to care for them personally and insightfully discovers a message for them that will change their lives. Sometimes the messages are easy to deliver, other times they need all he can give. But always he finds the courage to follow through.

Sophie: part in Ed Kennedy’s journey through self discovery- Oh, sorry. I was watching Phineas and Ferb today. XD) was just a sweet filler address, I guess you could say. The friendship between Sophie and Ed is really what I loved most, and it was cute.

Ed’s mom:I cannot believe that she was cheating on Ed’s dad. She was one heck of a mother!! Im not used to it simply because my mum would never act like that! this part just added to the drama, made me love it more.
Tatupu Family: made me… happy. When a family is really that poor and kinda broken, the least you can do is make them happy with… NEW CHRISTMAS LIGHTS!

Great message in this book: "Maybe everyone can live beyond what they're capable of. "
I recommend it to everyone over age of thirteen!
PICK IT UP. You’ll probably love it. Your life will not be wasted on reading this book. :D
I've read this book too and really liked it. The ending is interesting and open to various intepretations, which I also liked. I could follow this review because I had read the book, but wonder whether people who hadn't read it might find it hard to understand. Remember, your main audience for a review is people who HAVEN'T read the book, but might if you persuade them to.
