    A funny, compelling book

    A very honest, funny and touching novel about a year in the life of a 14 year old Native American boy on the reservation, but with a foot in the larger society. There are wonderful cartoons along with the text. This is not for all tastes: it includes racism, alcoholism, death, and teenage obsession with sex. I found it very interesting and uplifting. The author said that it is "78% true" reflecting what happened in his own life.

  • Timeless

    The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie transcends the barrier of time by addressing a problem that is still relevant today by using the narration of a boy who is so heartbreakingly honest and humorous that it almost hurts to laugh. Arthur is the equivalent, or greater than, of the like of J.D. Salinger's Holden. This novel belongs on every adolescent's no everybody's bookshelf and reading list because it has a message on race and on privilege that this nation still needs to hear and address.
