He tries to make his getaway, but there is one issue: the car will not start. They infuriate the burglar to the point where he demands Marv’s car keys and runs out the door to make his getaway, leaving the gun on the floor of the bank. The burglar hears them and threatens to shoot, but Ed and Marv just do not care. To be fair, he does not stop it in spectacular fashion: he starts arguing with Marv about Marv’s car (an old relic that is not worth anything) on the floor of the bank. That is, until he inadvertently stops a bank robbery. His siblings have all gone away to college, but Ed does not think about his life goals, but just lets it pass by like a breeze. Ed Kennedy is an insignificant, boring person who drives taxis for a living and plays cards with his friends, Marv, Ritchie, and Audrey, every single night. “The gunman is useless.” are the first words of this novel by Markus Zusak.
