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

This book has very good comic relief even though it discuses difficult topics. Maybe this is what teens enjoy about it. I would think all of these negative topics would depress a teen (or anyone else for that matter) but apparently its popular so Im wrong. This is definitely a “boy book” with selective female appeal. With its dark cover adorned by toy cowboys and indians and the “taped in” comics that draw you to the book. I think a lot of guys would read it. I think the humor is appealing for guys too. This is refreshing tho because these qualities make the story more unique to the reader.
