The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian

I really enjoyed reading this book more than any other books we read in the class. Not only because it was an easy read, but also because the humor the author had in the book. Before I began reading the book, I did not think I was going to like it because of my quick judgments by just looking at the cover. But to my surprise it was one of my favorite books. As soon as I started reading I found myself not wanting to put the book down. Before I started reading the book I was kind taken back with the cartoons because they made the book look childish. However, I found out the cartoons were one of the things that made the book even more joyful to read it. Sometimes while reading a book it is hard to create an image in my head just like the one the author tries paint in the book. But with this book it was so easy to look at the illustration and just be able to connect with the story more easily.

The other of the thing I liked about this book was the fact that the author was able to show the many struggles teenager faces while growing. Whether it was bullying, friendship, family, or cliques somehow any teenager or anyone who was a teenage at some point can confess of experiencing some of adolescence portrayals in the book. Bullying is one the struggle Junior faced while in school, and also something that many teenagers face. However, it was good to see that Junior never let bullying stop him from working toward his future. These days there are many students who decide to take their own life because bullying, so it was great to see Junior continuing to work on his future.
