A review by yetanothersusan
Sucktown, Alaska by Craig Dirkes

4.0

Okay, so, this is where I admit that I was born and raised in Alaska. I did not live in a town like remote Kusko, but I could frequently relate to many of the problems that Eddie faced after he flunked out of college and went to spend a year working for a local newspaper. I enjoyed reading the many random pieces of information Mr. Dirkes included about Alaska and Native Alaskans. While many times I wanted to yell and shake Eddie about the poor decisions he made, I do realize those struggles were the whole point of this coming of age story. As Eddie’s dad tells him: “Figure it out.” I just wish Eddie had before his last big stupid mistake.
