muhavipi 's review for:
A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier
by Ishmael Beah
Perhaps I am too emotionally attached to really give this book an objective review. Perhaps the story is exaggerated, as some say. But it is a story that touches on the reality of many in countries across the continent, and I cannot help but think about the children that I have come to know and love in relatively safe Tanzania. I cannot help but think that the author was only a few years older than I at the time. I cannot help but feel great sadness at the suffering of others and man's inhumanity to man. This is a story worth reading and thinking about, and perhaps, worth placing yourself in the shoes of another.
