How I felt about the book evolved as I progressed through it. Its both sad and intense, but also hopeful and sweet. There's also some ribald humor sprinkled in

I thought the story was good, though there were some parts that slowed for me (some of the side stories). The end felt a little abrupt. I enjoyed the glimpses into 13-year-old boys' life on the reservation.

This is a rough story told beautifully. Without spoiling anything, this is the story of a violent crime and a community's response, specifically the response of a 13 year old boy. There are moments that are harrowing and heartbreaking, and there are moments of deep humor and joy, and the teenage perspective tends to walk the line between normal teenage weirdness and the truly awkward and upsetting. The story asks us to think about what justice means to victims, to their families and communities, and traditionally, and the answers it presents are sometimes challenging.
The story ends abruptly and without the normal feeling of resolution, so if that kind of thing makes you mad, consider yourself forewarned.
