Im a big fan of I am the Messenger, captures the feel of being a mid twenties guy and the feel of being a poor australian on the east coast well, depicts the scummier parts of life and the little joys and struggles, while still being optimistic about people and self improvement.

a better teenage novel is Enders Game, the movie really butchered what was a good book. The US military even has is on their reading list. It highlights the importance of empathy to predict ones opponent

it’s a good book, give it a shot.

Enders game is over rated, but neat. I don’t think it says much of compared to thinks like forever war which it’s in conversation with, or philip k dicks books which are the finest scifi produced in america in my opinion, partially because they’re concerned with how meaningful truth and reality and self and personhood are, written by a man for whom such things could tragically never be concrete.
