Book Reviews of The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

Book Review: A Great Book
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great book. I had to read it for a graduate class and this book was easily the class favorite. Our graduate class was a group of teachers and we could all relate to the main character and his friends. Having taught in a district where Native Americans were the largest minority cultural group, I could relate to some of the pain and experiences that the main character expresses in this book after seeing some similar experiences with my own students. The novel is well written and fun to read - something that will definitely make you smile at times and help the reader to begin to see the pain associated with life lived by those on reservations.
