xilks 's review for:

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie

3.0

---

This book was pretty good. I enjoyed the humor and the subject matter of the book. Like many of the other Alexie books and stories I've read previous to this, his classical political statements are still seen woven into this story, but, as per usually, that are not offensive to the reader. His realistic look at the world that "rez Indians" are born into is a dismal existence, but is portrayed well to help the reader understand a new world to which they are usually not privy. For a young adult book, I appreciate the fact that Alexie didn't talk down to the target audience, or "mute" the subject matter he was addressing.

I would recommend this to most anyone. It was a pleasant, fun, and quick read.
