Flight by Sherman Alexie
4.0
Finished this on my drive home tonight. It was really good!
The person reading this book was perfection. Awesome inflection - I actually believed he was the main character - which pretty much never happens with me and an audio book.
I love Sherman Alexie books because I think he is a story teller and not just a writer. So the last two weeks I have listened to this wonderful story being read to me.
The nutshell of the story is about the journey of a teenager named "Zits". He is half Native American and half Irish and an orphan making his way from foster home to half way house. Sounds kind of depressing - but it was really good. Zits goes on a bit of a journey - and you get to go along for the ride.
It stirred some stuff up in me. I had some of my usual family stress dreams and a little bit of insomnia. I guess it's good though. Sometimes a person needs a little stirring up.
I am sure this would be a good book to read - but I have to say that I am really very happy I listened to this in Audio Book format. I will be seaking out more Sherman Alexie audio books and I hope they are all narrated by Adam Beach.
