Book Reviews of Flight: A Novel
Book Review: Amazing book
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book and was just wowed. A mere 180 pages generates over 40 discussion questions at the end. This is a fast read. How did Alexie say so much, so simply? I was compelled to read it again, and again I finished in tears. The main character is a 15-year-old, who has countless times been betrayed, abandoned and beaten down. He time-travels 5 times, into five different bodies, to learn about being betrayed, abandoned and beaten down, through different eyes. This is a truly worthy read.Book Review: Seriously Fun Stuff
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was a lot of fun and if you'd have told me the subject matter I probably would have passed. But Alexie does a fantastic job of making a teenage boy the narrator in various bodies in some pretty horrendous situations. But the simple, funny attitude and language of the narrator diffuses the harshness of the scenes.
I think this book is novel and bright and like nothing I've ever read. It is educational and mind-shifting while at the same time being totally accessible.

Book Review: Recommend
Summary: 5 Stars
I wasn't sure about this book at first, it seemed too broad and unfocused. But Alexie makes it work and he is even more of a genius by doing it in less than 200 pages. I'd recommend it to anyone with imagination and a sense of humor who isn't easily discouraged.Book Review: Flight is soaring with good humor...
Summary: 5 Stars
I would suggest anyone that works with Native Americans or is an Native American read this book...what candor, what fun, what insight that there is only two tribes...Alexie says it like it is for society as a whole.
