I finally read Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie- I'd been meaning to for over a year now as I had heard from all kinds of readers that they had loved it. I enjoyed it, too. I thought the way the author dealt with and communicated the plight of modern-day American Indians living on reservations was realistic and I championed Junior's hard work to break the mold. I also loved the drawings of Ellen Forney.
