A review by caleb_tankersley
The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven by Sherman Alexie

3.0

Despite what everyone else and their mother has reviewed this book as, I didn't think it was anything brilliant. It was barely readable at all. Alexie covers some great topics, and a few, two or three, of the stories are impressive. However, the good stories are virtually drowned in less-than-stellar stories that are far too long and boring and all sound the same. I literally fell asleep reading parts of this. I think Alexie has fallen under that unfortunate enchantment we see so often in modern literature: he should have been a speaker, a comedian, something like that. Not a writer.
