Book 220: Birdie

This book was also given to me for graduation for my long time friend and one time principle in Junior high.

I want to start by saying Birdie is a very good book. I found the plot was a bit jumpy at times so I would definitely make this a one or two sitting book if I reread it. I found if I went too long I would lose parts which made other parts a bit more vague than they should have been. Otherwise a very strong book style-wise. It addresses important issues in our (Canadian) society and it should be added to high school reading lists in due haste (as well as university ones of course).

I found that was sad in a subtle way. It's based around murdered and missing indigenous women, but does not come forward with that point until nearly the end of the novel.

I give this novel a 7 out of 10. I would recommend it to everyone.
