Summary: Native American point of view for this terrific storyteller
Comment: A member of the Cour d'Alene tribe of Native Americans, Sherman Alexie grew up on the Spokane Indian reservation. His first book, The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, introduced the characters and setting that appear again in Reservation Blues. With irresistible humor and a very distinctive point of view, Alexie tells what happens when the guitar of a blues legend passes into the hands of Victor, a troubled guy who becomes the troublesome but extremely talented member of a rock group, Coyote Springs. The bulk of the story follows Victor and 2 friends as they try to pull themselves from the hard-scrabble poverty of the reservation to cope with the possibility of stardom.

Summary: Great read
Comment: I finished reading this in 1 day. Bitter, gritty, some sweet. Dreams, myths, personal and community. Not so subtle on the historical message, but nice handling in its descriptive and metaphorical delivery. Worth reading twice. Yes, I can picture a movie from this one, but it has to done well to give the story justice.
Rating: 5
Summary: The Native Struggle
Comment: This is a brilliant example of Native American literature. It has a magical sense of the Indian experience. This book keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. I had mixed emotions towards the characters and the effects. Sometimes it would make you want to laugh and other times it would make you feel saddened. It gives you the reality of the Native American people which is usually blown way out of proportion by movies and t.v. shows. After reading this novel it gave me an interest in Native American literature and other Sherman Alexie books. I would reccomend this novel to anyone looking for an adventure through an exciting cultural experience.
