Teacher-approved!. I'm an 8th grade English teacher, and even some of my reluctant reader students loved this book. I found it to be funny, yet a very witty social critique of many issues relevant to young adults. Although I'm a "young" teacher, I, too, enjoyed the book and would definitely recommend it to those interested in young adult fiction. Sherman Alexie did a fabulous job with this novel!

Brilliant. This book is a wonderful combination of social critique and humor, in addition to a coming of age tale. While I would suggest this book be for 15+ ages, I think that adults will find it entertaining as well. Alexie is accomplished and writes in a unique way (that may be difficult for some to adjust to) that intrigues and pushes the boundaries of typically literature. Sure to be a classic, this is a modern classic and a must read.

Question. I accidentally bought this book for a school project but I'm not able to reprint does anyone know if this book is available on audible format?

Great book!. Loved reading it! Took only a day to finish, I was so hooked. It was hilarious, compelling and tragic; that I started to read his other novels and poems. :)

The Absolutley True Diary Of A Part-Time Indian. I had to read this book for a summer assignment for my first year of high school, best book ever!!!!!! 10/10

wow!. this was one of the best books i have read in a long time it was so funny yet sad i am very impressed and glad it was on my summer reading list!

Sooo funny. Read this book for fun, on the bus, when you have 15' for free, in your bed. Only for fun and relax yourself.

Great book. This book was really good. I like that it was simple and easy to read and still was very interesting

Great time!. I was assigned to read this for a Race and Racism class, I was not expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. I'm having my 13 year old read it now!

Loved it!!!. Quick and easy read. It teaches people how to stand up for what they believe in, and follow their dreams. Loved the characters and writing style. Definitely not appropriate for anyone under 13.

Sweet!. Very very very good book I loved it

A relatable book. I have finally found a book that I can relate to!

Astounding. Right up there in my favorites with "the Perks of Being a Wallflower".

A perfect gem of a book. I stumbled across this book while browsing the iBookstore and went for it after reading the reviews. While it's written for the YA market, I highly recommend it for everyone! The character of Junior (Arnold) is so well crafted and, through him, the author gives us an insightful glimpse into a world that so many of us know nothing about. One of the reviews I read said that this book will make you laugh and cry in a whole plethora of ways - I couldn't agree more and couldn't be more grateful for the chance to experience this absolute gem of a book.

Brilliant!. I've read many books throughout my 28 years, but none have hit home like this book. An easy but captivating read. I'd recommend it to anyone, especially Native youth. My only wish is that this book were available during my grade school years.

Amazing. It is truly a masterpeice i could not put it down

Wonderful Book. Just could put the book down.

Well it's a book. Well you see here, this is an amazing thing in regards as it is a book. It has a clear beginning, middle, and an ending that resolves something. Some of the characters undergo a change. And a lot of people die. The story is whiten my someone called Sherman Alexie, who is an author. There are pictures in the book that show things instead of words. The chapters are clearly stated, and the pages are numbered. In the end, it is a book.

Great Book. I read this book years ago when i was in 9th or 10th grade and it is still as good and as funny as it was then! awesome book! no joke!

Fantastic. I LOVED this book, and this is surprising as I don't read often at all. Highly recommended

Superkid. This is such a great book for teenage youths to read

Truth buried beneath humor. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great concept and intertextuality.

Great Book… Inappropriate for Parents. This book is amazing. But it is meant for teenage boys. If you are a parent, do both you and your child a favor and don't read this book. Other than that, the book is very well written. It relates to the reader and is both funny and intriguing. Sherman Alexie was also able to develop relationships between characters with hardly any interaction, in such a short period of time. This made the book much more emotional and relatable in a weird way. **regarding the age limit for this book** I am a 14 year old who just has an unusually articulate and advanced way of writing, not a 40 year old book critic who is trying to establish authors purpose and intended audience.

Loved it!!. True to Sherman Alexie's style, you get pulled in from the very start and captivated the entire way through. It's a very easy read, suitable for a younger audience but enjoyable at all ages.

I mean good. Good books, yep!

I read this for school. I usually hate reading things that I’m told to, but this book kept my attention fairly well, so to that I’ll give it 2👍🏻 and 1👌🏻.

The absolutely true diary of a part time Indian review. Had to read as a summer project for high school. Book had a great theme to follow but was to voyager could of been better without the dirty scenes he writes about. Story is sad but truthful overall is a good read for non fiction lovers.

Awesome!!!. My best read, and I am not even a good reader! If you like comical books, then this is your best bet.

Amazing!. This book is uncannily funny and sad, you won't be able to put it down!

Absolutely true story of a part time Indian. It is an excellent book but semi inappropriate I recommend it for sophomore year reading...

Utterly Beautiful. Sherman Alexis has created sheer poetry. I have read it several times, and will undoubtedly read it again someday. Beautiful- equal parts hilarity and heartbreaking.

Wonderful!. That’s a great book.

Best book. This was truly one of the best books I've read - Logan, age 9

Absolutely amazing book. Recommend to all. This is the best book ever!!

Great Book. Great Book. This was not only hilarious and interesting, it has a great, deep storyline. I could never put this down, i finished it in 3 days! I would recommend it to 7-10th graders
