Pretty dirty book and somewhat depressing. The title which I received was the Toughest Indian in the World. Are we talking about the same book?

Review of "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian"
This book is great for all kinds of reasons. Reading this book made me interested in other books by the author Sherman Alexie. The thing I liked most about the book is the whole time I was reading it I was very eager to find out what happens to all the chracters, I think the author did very well in making the characters believable and likeable, I think character developement is the most important thing in any book, movie, etc. I was very suprised when I found out that not only is this Sherman Alexie's first young adult book but it also a biography of real events in his adolecent life. This only made me apperciate the book even more. While doing research I also found out that Sherman Alexie has work as being a poet, filmmaker and a comedian which deffiently shows in his writing because there are a lot of parts in this book that made me laugh or smile. Being a teenager my self I feel like the author knew exactly how to interest my age group and I would reccomend this book to anyone in my age group.

good message
It had a great message but certainly geared toward a younger generation.

Great book for adults and young readers
I bought copies of this for all my nieces and nephews for xmas this year, on our native and non-native sides of the family. They all loved it. I bought it for a few adults too--they were already fans of Alexie from LONE RANGER AND TONTO FISTFIGHT IN HEAVEN and RESERVATION BLUES (both brilliant, groundbreaking books), so of course they loved it too.

Carry On Literature
Alexie offers a silly and teary boyhood tale at a ninth grade reading level with a few jokes that hit below the belt. This book can satisfy your need for a quick dose of standup y/a literature with cute drawings, perfect for that two hour flight to Denver.
