I listened to the version narrated by Alexie. It was powerful. You can hear Alexie get emotional over the deaths of his his sister Mary and his dad's best friend Eugene. I felt the loss and the hopelessness of the rez, and how beautiful and complex it is to be Indigenous.

Great book, though. I'm glad I reread it.
But I had to take away points for use of the n word. Like damn even if it's not from our main character, it's very disappointing the author wrote that in.
