julierion said: Sherman Alexie has been one of my favorite authors of "grown up" books for years (Reservation Blues, The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven). This is a heart-wrenching & rip-roaring funny account of a young Native American trying to deal with the poverty & alcoholism on his "rez" while struggling to fulfill his ambitions and dreams. I am disappointed that I haven't had more success in getting kids to read this one...
