scarlettletters 's review for:
The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven
by Sherman Alexie
I saw this book on a shelf at my grandparents' house and gave an audible gasp of excitement. The only other book of Alexie's that I had read was The Absolutely True Diary... and so I couldn't wait to read something else.
This one is basically a series of vignettes, mostly connected, mostly about the same character, which I think is semi-autobiographical. There were a few details which also popped up in Absolutely True Diary...
The stories are both sad and happy. Alexie has a way of portraying the sadness of everyday life in a way that makes it beautiful.
Also he mentioned a few places on the Flathead reservation that I am familiar with so I thought that was kind of cool just because I love recognizing familiar things in books.
This is just the kind of book I think everyone should read because it reveals a part of American culture that is so unfamiliar and so uncared about by most people.
