I finished it, but I didn't care anything about anybody in it.</p>
<p>I love Sherman Alexie. Slam made me doubt again if Old Adult writers could deliver for Young Adult readers. But "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" is one of the most brilliant and touching and innovative books I've ever read. I was happy to see a long waiting list for it at our local library (although admittedly "local" = "Seattle" so this is his home turf).</p>Eric Berlin commented on '<i>Slam</i> -- Nick Hornby'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e200e54f0dc10c88342007-10-17T19:02:43Z2007-10-17T19:02:43ZEric Berlinhttp://www.ericberlin.comCount me among those who really liked Slam.
