Review Review: 'The Absolutely True Diary Of A Part-Time Indian'
Posted by alli on 08-06-2008
I thought I'd finally cover this best seller and seemingly instant classic. I think EVERYBODY who reads this book loves it. Winner of the Horn Book Award, and The National Book Award, Sherman Alexie is one of those beloved authors who inspires people. His humor, honesty and beautiful language are remarkable. He has been around for a long time but is new to a lot of young adult literature lovers. In my opinion, he's our gain. I've read quite a bit of his poetry and looooved "Smoke Signals." I am so pleased at all of the attention and praise he continues to get for his YA novel.
Here's a small sample of the many accolades you'll find in reviews of The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian:
'Off the Res' (New York Times, reg. required)
'Misfit' (LA Times, reg. required)
'Straight Shooter' (Star Tribune)
'An Absolutely Great Novel' (Shelftalker)
