I added Zusak's I Am The Messenger and The Book Thief to WWEnd. They appear in the ISFDB, which is kind of our reference, but probably lie better in the category of speculative fiction than actual SF or Fantasy. I read Messenger for my SF bookclub's April pick. I liked it, but I didn't get the main character's motivation. And though the ending seemed to make the everything rational, it still seemed to me that there was something supernatural, perhaps urban fantasy-ish about it all.


I've read both of these Zusak books and found both excellent. I wouldn't have considered either of them to be in the fantasy genre. But then I wouldn't consider Gone Girl to be in the horror genre, and it's here.
