Book #7: A Long Way Gone

A Long Way Gone
by Ishmael Beah


As I'm mostly writing these "reviews" to keep track of what I read and what I think of it for myself, I'm going to keep this one short. I also read this while we were in Hong Kong - thanks for the recommendation cousin! It's the story of boy soldiers that are forced into service by different rebel factions in African countries. And, it's heartbreaking and shocking and (in the end at least) somehow hopeful. Would definitely recommend it to the person hoping to increase their awareness of the suffering in the world - there will never be change if we don't know what's happening!
