It was an okay read. Definitely quick and easy to read. I liked the exploration of what it means to be Native American and how the individual is always struggling with the community. There was some stuff that was uncomfortable—I can see why it’s a banned book—and some issues I wish were addressed better than they were, but overall it was an enjoyable read.Â

SUMMARY
But we reservation Indians don't get to realize our dreams. We don't get those chances. Or choices. We're just poor. That's all we are.
REVIEW
I shrank back into my chair and remembered when I used to be a human being.
- Writing: 5 / 5.
- Characters: 5 /5. Junior carries the book, but everyone around him is doing their own thing and living their own lives.Â
- Plot Originality: 3 / 5, as some if it felt... contrived. Â
- Plot Execution: 4 / 5Â
- Personal Feelings: 4 / 5, because the pacing was off at the end.Â
