Technically perfect, plus the biggest literary gut-punch I’ve experienced in recent memory. Can’t say I’m in a hurry to reread it immediately but I will be recommending it to absolutely everyone I know

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.
