the Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

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

Summary: The story of Junior, a teenage boy living on an Indian reservation in Oregon and his attempts to break out of what is expected of him.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

Comments: Read a lot about this book before I actually read it, so I was prepared for the stereotypical portrayal of Native American people (the way they are all drunk and have no future), so I wasn't offended by it. I appreciated it for what it was. Some language issues, and a lot of sexual content I could have done without.
