Alright, I should have a denser review for this...at some point. 
 TL/DR: A good friend recommended it and I don't regret finally taking her on, but I think that the "brilliant" social commentary a lot of people have been pitching to me is a little overstretched. 
 Don't get me wrong - the fact that there is a diverse main character AND a girl is pretty darn awesome. But the Native American stereotypes in particular and the fact that, even if they were meant to be commentary for the elucidation of the young reader, pretty much just were stereotypes and not explained or frowned at or anything...really rubbed me the wrong way.
