This book reminded me of a more grown-up version of The Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I'm sure that's probably a bit insulting to Mr. Sherman Alexie, but it's true. The humorous cartoons and very straightforward prose was so reminiscent of it. Thankfully, though, this book had a lot more to think about. To be honest, I don't know many Native Americans at all. It was really interesting to read about a lifestyle I never even pondered until now and for that, I appreciate this book. It really shows how a good education can make a difference. On a side note, I definitely would be a bit hesitant to give this book to anyone younger than 14 or 15 to read...
