A Absolutely true Diary of a part time Indian. Gosh that's a long title.

In  The Absolutely True Diary of a part time Indian by Sherman Alexie, is an amazing book and is the first book (other than Ender's Game) that I actually loved so much that I read  it twice. It has an amazing, emotional, funny story. It is also full of the cast of some of the funniest characters in the world. It also has one of the most dark twists.

In the book Arnold, the main character, is troubled with a brain disease that doesn't hinder him but makes the other Indians on the rez pick on him and beat him up. He has only one true friend, Rowdy, who's dad  beats him, this causes allot of issues in Arnold's life. When his teacher Mr. P tells him not to give up and to leave the Rez in order to continue to fight on, that's exactly what Arnold does. Arnold then decides that he has to go to a specific school, a school full of another race of raciest white people. In my opinion this is actually a really good plot line and knowing that he has to leave his own tribe and them turning there backs on him is just amazingly beautiful.

The cast of Characters is also hilarious. When Arnold gets to Reardan, his new school, he makes frieds with a nerd, Gordy, who believes that books should give you a metaphorical boner, (Arnold doesn't understand that it's metaphorical at first.) Meets his future girlfriend, Penelope, who just happens to be bulimic, and Roger, the gigantic at-first bully then friend guy, who becomes Arnold's friend because Arnold punches him in the face. This might not seem funny at first but the way Alexie writes it is just comic to the soul.

In the book though, does have many a serious moment. When family troubles occur ,like a death for example, Alexie just changes Arnold's voice. He makes Arnold serious and emotional. He makes the book seem like how it would be if this issue happened to you. He some how keeps the mood lightened up just enough to keep you from sobbing and stop reading the book.

In conclusion this book is the best book of today and it has all of the elements that a great book needs. The characters are serious and yet funny, the story is depressing and yet light and comic at most times, the ending is beautiful and the book itself is a master piece. This book I would struggle to put out of ten because it deserves much more than ten. So I will end this review by putting this book at the 999/10 mark.
