ATDPTI Reading Response

"The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian" by Sherman Alexie is a fiction book written for young adults. This novel follows the life of a mentally disabled Native American teenager, Junior. This novel has been banned in many schools, but it does teach many lessons to young readers.

After a hundred pages of this novel, my opinion on this book has become quite clear. I have always enjoyed a good novel with morals and references to reality. This novel does both, but it does it in an unusual way. The author reaches out to the minds of readers through sexual and other inappropriate kinds of jokes, sometimes causing a light laugh. I have enjoyed this book, and I look forward to reading more in the future.
