Blood and Gunfire

In all of my years of reading, I have never read a book like this. Never was a book never exciting, nor intriguing. Alexie really puts reality in the book. The book starts with a kid with a disorder, then the father comes to kill his best friend. On top of that, there are limits to where the Indian folk can live and learn. To me that's not living, that's surviving. The kid, Junior, has an abusive friend and goes to a run down school. This is because he was born an Indian. My response to this is America is not all it's cracked up to be, and that the only way to make your way to the top is to benefit others and do what they say. For example, when Junior went to the school, he started a fight and was given a weird look. But when he blended in with the girl Penelope, Junior got some recognition.
