5/5 Stars (%97/100) I was more or less familiar with the style of the writer, which is satiric, humorous and very effective. This is apparently his most famous book and I had to read for one of my classes. I didn't have a lot of knowledge about the book before I started it, so it helped me like it even more. The story revolves around a Spokane Indian named Junior who lives in a reservation. Junior is dissatisfied with his life in the reservation and decides to leave and live with "them whites." The author brilliantly portrays the harsh lifestyle of the Indians through the perspective of Junior who is 14 years old. Though he is very young, Junior is very smart and mature. He has a lot of problems in life not only because of his origin but also health problems. He thrives to survive in two worlds; Indian and White. I really enjoyed the book. It is definitely a page-turner. The language is very smooth and easy to understand. It is extremely humorous and satiric. Even when the author is talking about the death of a person, it still manages to put a smile on your face. It is sometimes tragic but also has comedic elements. The book is autobiographical and fictionalizes Alexie's own life.
