Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
By: Sherman Alexie
5/5 stars
Reviewer: Marina
Junior is a half-Indian half-White teen caught between his
two cultures and living on The Rez. Life
is hard for him in a world where he doesn’t fit in with either culture, has a
full dose of nerdiness on top of that, and oddities like being born with 10
extra teeth! Despite his trials Junoir
tells his story of trying to make his way in this crazy life with a sense of
humor, a dash of cartoons he draws, and a sprinkle of four letter words. It’s hard not to feel for what junior is
going through- going to school off rez, his level of poverty, and the teasing
he receives from the other Indians from being too white. Ultimately, Junior is just like any other
teen, facing the usual teen dilemmas and is extremely relatable. Pick up this book for a read and you are sure
to laugh out loud and thoroughly enjoy yourself.
