krystlocity 's review for:
The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven
by Sherman Alexie
Review from Sept. 2005:
A book of short stories about native Americans, most of them having something to do with the other characters.
I liked this book quite a lot. A friend of mine said that it was a bad book to read because it only re-enforced bad stereotypes of native Americans-that they drink and fight and are lazy and tell "stories" instead of "truths". Another friend of mine didn't like it because it never showed any signs of improving and no closure.
To me, it didn't need any closure. Every story itself had one. It didn't make me think native americans were lazy or whatever my first friend thought. I just thought it was beautifully written for realistic relationships between people and dreams and situations, etc. I thought the styles were great, I thought the imagery was great. For me, the author accomplished something, and I think it was what he wanted.
