Diari del tot verídic d'un indi a mitja jornada (2007)

This book is fantastic!!! I can't say enough about it! This was the first of Alexie's books that I've read, and I was not disappointed. Now I can't wait to get my hands on more books by him! ( )

I really enjoyed this book and the unique narrative with comics. ( )

Captivating read. I started it last night to try and make me sleepy and I ended up reading the whole thing. I do enjoy Alexie's writing, so I don't know why I was surprised at how much I liked it. I laughed, I cried...for the more conservative out there, be warned that Alexie does not shy away from teen realities of sexuality and language. ( )

What a terrific book, told in first person it reads like an autobiography and at times it's really funny and other times it's gut wrenching. Junior is a terrific character and his story is important especially in today's political climate. I enjoyed the cartoons interspersed with the text. ( )

I'm from Montana, and have witnessed first hand the racism that Native Americans face, especially those from "the rez." There's still plenty of hatred and fear of Native Americans--as recently as 10 years ago I had an older person warn me "don't break down in Browning" as I was driving home from Glacier Park. So I get it. And this is an amazingly well-written book.
It's just so incredibly grim and depressing, that I can't really say I liked this book. I can totally see why it's been controversial, and I think it's a book that should be read. I just didn't really enjoy it. ( )
