Sherman Alexie's Novel Ch. 1-3

This book started off nicely and did a great job of grabbing my attention from the start. One sentence " I was born with water on my brain" is a decent cliff hanger to want to know what the author is talking about. He goes on to speak of growing up and an "L" including big feet, big hands, and a big skull. He had multiple seizures growing up and a lisssthhp. He loves to draw images because words can be confusing and pictures can explain things clearly and also have multiple meanings. He then speaks of his poverty growing up as a child and not having enough money for food, wishing he could have some KFC, as well as not having money to care for his sick dog or "bestfriend" Oscar. Unfortunately he had to hear his father shoot his dog as he was running from the scene. These are the things that have caught my attention so far and am looking forward to reading more.
