War Dances Sherman Alexie 9780802119193 Books

Ever since I heard an interview with Sherman Alexie on NPR, I have been intrigued both by his persona and writings. I was very happy to see his name turning up on my subscription lists at a price I could afford.

None of his books have been disappointments. This one, a collection of loosely connected stories and poems is both funny and sad. I hated to turn the last page and find it was over. I could have gone on for another two hundred pages, and I would happily have read them.

War Dances Sherman Alexie 9780802119193 Books Reviews

This book was a reading requirement from my English class. I enjoyed reading this book because Sherman Alexie is not only a great story writer but he's also a poet. My favorite story in this book was The Ballad of Paul Nonetheless. For some reason that story intrigued me. On Airplanes was my favorite poem by Alexie from this book. Overall this was a very good book to read. I'm glad my teacher chose it for our class and I recommend it to anyone who likes poetry.
Being an 81 year old Cheyenne River Sioux l somehow can not relate to this narrative!!
Sherman Alexie couldn't write anything bad, if he tried. If you enjoy Alexie, you will like this
I enjoyed every story and poem in "War Dances". In fact, I finished the book while eating in a Mexican restuarant. My waiter was one fourth Lacota. He showed interest in the book and I was proud to pass it on to him. I know he too will enjoy the open, direct, humorous and poignant glimpses of life ala Sherman Alexie.
Sherman Alexie has a real way with words. The stories and poems in War Dances are powerful and beautifully written. I actually came across this work first as an audiobook, read by the author, and he reads it so well that I'd recommend it to everyone, even though historically I prefer to read myself rather than be read to.
I love the works of Sherman Alexie. I know I will want to go back and read this book again. I am sure the poems will offer more on additional readings. The stories are funny and sad, but always insightful. Anger and pathos, pain and pleasure, love and hate are the stuff life and his characters are made of. His stories are more character driven than plot driven, so if you like stories about people, you will enjoy the work of Sherman Alexie.
I have been pleasantly surprised with War Dances. I have read a few other books from Sherman Alexie, and this one is not one of his most popular. I can see why. This is a mix of poetry and prose. I do like his stories better than his poetry, but the poems in this collection are still enjoyable and thought provoking. Overall, I am glad I read this (granted, I did get it on sale). But it is hit or miss. You might connect with some stories and not others. For me, there were some stories that were forgettable. On the other hand, there were a few that were so outstanding and memorable I would put them among some of the most impressive short stories I have read.
