Fixing up Page[edit]

This is a page that needs MAJOR fixing. The only information it has is a badly written summary of the first part of the plot. Djdorama (talk) 20:25, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

agreed[edit]

also ive got this book and its called the messenger not i am the messenger. idunno why —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.68.131.185 (talk) 03:23, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am the Messenger is the American title, I believe, while the original title is The Messenger. Rotideypoc41352 (talk) 01:50, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The analysis is rubbish.[edit]

The analysis sections (i.e., everything after the plot summary) is complete garbage. Apart from being sparse, it looks as though whoever wrote it only went to the trouble of referencing a single reviewer, as almost every sentence begins with "Hillias J. Martin said...". Also, one such sentence is repeated verbatim under two separate headings. That being said, I'll gladly admit that I'm too damn lazy to bring the whole article up to par, and for now my contribution will be limited to this griping and fixing the repetition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.34.78.3 (talk) 20:01, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rework[edit]

This entire page needs a rework. The plot is composed of lists, and everything past that (character, reception, etc.) is all original research or from one source. Seneca 55 (talk) 23:48, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
