5.0 out of 5 stars bittersweet stories of survival, 12 Feb 2001
By A Customer
These stories pack a punch. All set on the Spokane Indian reservation and involving the same characters- Victor, Thomas Builds-A-Fire, Junior Polatkin- the tales are of basketball, of drunkeness, of fry bread, despair and hope. Thomas Builds-A-Fire tells stories, often to himself when no one else wants to listen. Victor travels to Arizona to dispose of his father's remains, remembering how he was abandoned as a youth. Victor remembers sleeping between his parents, passed out from alcohol, which was comforting to him as a child. Victor and Junior reminisce about the great reservation basketball players, some having gained eternal fame from a single, well-placed shot across the court. These stories sometimes go by in a haze of drunkenness, in the anger of a modern Native American- but all will surely touch you to the core. Each story made me stop and think for hours afterwards, and they clutched my heart. They are beautiful and devastating, some of the most poignant and powerful stories I have read in a long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars a brilliant book of modern american indian life., 9 April 2001
By A Customer
with this collection of short stories, sherman alexie has put together a classic book. this is very witty, funny and sad at the same time. this is truly a great insight into modern american indian life (sherman alexie refuses to be called native american). many of these tales are autobiographical and alexie impresses the reader more and more with each story. this is a great book, definately 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favourite book of all time, 28 Feb 2008
Please, please, please do yourself a favour and read this book. I'm serious. I can't possibly express how wonderful, funny, heartbreaking, powerful, devastating and beautiful it is in my own words in such a small review space. Just, please, read it.
