This was one of the best YA books I've read. I have pretty much given up reading young adult books because I am sick of the teenage angst over their love lives. This novel does have a little of that but mostly Arnold is worried about poverty and his family and being a new student and the only Indian at an all white school. The drawings are great and give this a realistic diary feel. Very quick read. ( ![]() Superb coming of age book. Would recommend to any teenager and twice that many adults. Loved it! I really loved this, much more than I expected. Excellent use of cartoons to support the story and make the narrator seem that much more present (he is a cartoonist and his illustrations are used throughout the story). Junior is unique, funny, nerdy, adventurous yet scared, just a wonderful character and quite believable teen. He straddles the world of the reservation and his white high school with very complex reactions, worry that he's trying to be white, and fear that he will die on the reservation. It's not an enviable position and one that many Native Americans experience. I laughed out loud often, wanted to cry at times, and was very satisfied with the ending, though it didn't wrap everything up in perfect bow. Alexie has such an authentic, unique voice, and I'm eager to read more from him. full review tomorrow
Working in the voice of a 14-year-old forces Alexie to strip everything down to action and emotion, so that reading becomes more like listening to your smart, funny best friend recount his day while waiting after school for a ride home. Té una guia d'estudi per a estudiantsTé una guia del professor
Budding cartoonist Junior leaves his troubled school on the Spokane Indian Reservation to attend an all-white farm town school where the only other Indian is the school mascot. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
