Response to ATDPTI

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian is really good. I tried to think of some better word to describe it, but that was all I could come up with. It's just...good. It captures some real world problems while still capturing the teen spirit. (not the deodorant or the song. the abstract concept of what it means to be a teen). It's good because it's inspiring, funny, and well-written. 

Although I'm not sure about some of the innuendos in this book, I suppose that they are necessary. This book can be very dismal at some points, and some of those references just make me giggle a little. It's part of what I appreciate about this book. Even when it seems like nothing can go right for him, there's a joke thrown in there that will at least make me chuckle.
