Book Review - The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie

Image
  Have you ever encountered the situation where a book is recommended by someone whose taste in literature you respect and generally concur with but who you've always thought looked just "meh"? Then, after reading War Dances, another book by the same author, and finding it to be amazing, funny, and sad, you wonder why you didn't read The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian three years ago. Yes? Is it just me, or? XEM THÊM: Cách Tính Bài Baccarat Chuẩn Nhất Giúp Chiến Thắng Nhà Cái ✔ Well, you really ought to read Sherman Alexie if you haven't already. I'm referring to now.
