I enjoyed how the book was such a fast read. I never felt like I had to struggle to finish the reading assignments. I think most kids could identify with the feelings of isolation Junior felt. Teachers could tie this story in with personal stories about changing schools from the students. The differences from reservation life and Reardan life are very interesting. This is one of the first books I've read that compares the two societies. Sherman Alexie has a great ability to make you want to see Junior succeed.
