Never judge a book by it's cover

I always judge a book by it's cover. So when I first got this book, I immediately started studying the front cover. The first thing I noticed was the it was a bestseller and that it had won an award. Then I noted that it was a novel, not a good sign and that the author's name was bigger then the title. This is something that I am not a fan of, I dislike when the author's name is in larger text then the actual title of the book. Speaking of the title, I think that there is some meaning behind the choice of title that Sherman Alexie choose. 'The Absolutely True' tells me that it is probably either a well researched book or at least based on the authors life. This gave me hope because the only thing that I dislike more then fiction is unrealistic fiction/sci-fi. 'A part-time Indian' intrigued me, especially since the images of a cowboy and Indian figurines are right next to the text. To me, this eluded to a struggle between stereotypes and real facts and possibly an internal struggle of the main character. Overall, I like the simplicity and the symbolism on the front cover.
