The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian Bewertungen

"A Native American equivalent of Angela's Ashes." -- Publishers Weekly "Sure to resonate and lift spirits of all ages for years to come." "Realistic and fantastical and funny and tragic-all at the same time." -- VOYA "The line between dramatic monologue, verse novel, and standup comedy gets unequivocally-and hilariously and triumphantly-bent in this novel." -- Horn Book "What emerges most strongly is Junior's uncompromising determination to press on while leaving nothing important behind." -- BCCB "Few writers are more masterful than Sherman Alexie." -- Los Angeles Times "Alexie's humor and prose are easygoing and well suited to his young audience." -- Booklist "Fierce observations and sharp sense of humor...hilarious language." -- Newsday "Exceptionally good...Arnold is a wonderful character." -- Miami Herald "[Alexie] has created an endearing teen protagonist in his own likeness and placed him in the here and now." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune "Deftly taps into the human desire to stand out while fitting in." -- BookPage "Nimbly blends sharp with unapologetic emotion...fluid narration deftly mingles raw feelings with funny, sardonic insight." -- (starred review) "This is a gem of a book...may be [Sherman Alexie's] best work yet." "Breathtakingly honest, funny, profane, sad...will stay with readers." -- KLIATT
