A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier
by Ishmael Beah
"A Long Way Gone" was a story to remember. It shows the heartbreaking truths about many wars around the world. Wars fought by innocent children. One's that had no experience of fighting before the war. The story shows not only the struggles of a boy soldier, but the first half mainly talks about how Ishmael dealt with war when he first saw it. Though, I may have not found it the best book that I have read, for a few reasons, it was still very impressive. I do believe that the topic of child soldiers is a vital thing to observe, but the story could have been told differently. In a way to make me feel more. Though, what I did get from reading this, truly showed me that many other problems that people face in this world are far worse than mine. I hope that children do not have to go through these problems in the near future and that it ends completely. No one deserves to have their childhood destroyed like Ishmael had his.
