New York Times Book Review: Flight

This is a wonderful review of the book Flight by Sherman Alexie.

 

“A funny, irreverent, sardonic but sentimental, rebellious voice set beside his elder . . . contemporaries . . . Alexie is the bad boy among them, mocking, self-mocking, unpredictable, unassimilable, reminding us of the young Philip Roth.”

—Joyce Carol Oates, The New York Review of Books

 

LA Times Book Review  

Even though many of us may not agree...

 

"What's so frustrating about "Flight" isn't the flimsy story line or even the obvious and underwhelming message; it's that Alexie has wasted such an interesting, wisecracking little imp of a narrator".

- Mark S. Luce, Teacher at Barstow School and University of Kansas

High School freshmen review "Flight" after a visit from Sherman Alexie 

Interesting tid-bit on what students had to say after Alexie visited their school in Santa Barbara County.  Never a bad idea to hear the input of what students think about a book or an author, especially when deciding whether or not to teach it.  Just scroll down to the middle of the page.
