2014 - Book 5

"The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" - Washington

Here I thought Washington would be the "Twilight" saga . . . oh well, I already listened to those in book-on-CD format, so it was good I didn't have to "read" them again.

This book was just okay for me. It was one of the only books I'd actually heard about on this list, so I was expecting a little more from it that it just didn't deliver. Perhaps I was just a little weirded out by being in the mind of a teenage boy, who knows? While I enjoyed learning about his life, family, and tribe, I could have done with less personal boy puberty stuff. So, I wouldn't recommend this book for a girl, but I could see boys liking it quite a bit. The cartoons in it were entertaining, but the story was over-all sort of sad. It wasn't a bad book, but not my favorite either . . . hopefully the next book I read will be better.

Sorry I don't have any recipes to share this time . . . I'll make up for it in my next post ;)
