I enjoyed it!
This is a fun little book complete with tragedies dramas and victories. It reminds of A Prayer for Owen Meany condensed by 2/3! I didn't know in advance that it was targeted at teens. I guess the drawings should have been a hint!
Some of it is pretty graphic so I wouldn't recommend it for anyone under 14, probably. ...more

Roll over J.D. Salinger. Sherman Alexie has created a troubled teenage boy who might be more intriguing than Holden Caulfield.

Oh, this was such a GOOD book! I finished it at the Y last night and I kept laughing out loud! It's so real, honest, difficult, and true. I liked this one better than the other book I've read by Sherman Alexie because it seemed more realistic (which is ironic coming from a white girl). Very good book.

Beautiful! Laughed myself hoarse, and then cried with a sore throat. Thank you Sherman, this is a gem!
