The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

I loved this book. It made me laugh and even cry just a little bit. I'm not Native American but I've lived among them at times and as far as I can see it's very close to their current struggles.
The only thing that was hard for me was the language. This book has some pretty bad slang (by my standards anyway) but it's written from the perspective of a teenage boy. And I was a teenage girl not a boy so I don't know if this is really how they think and talk. Anyway the slang was too graphic for me.
