A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier by Ishmael Beah

5.0

Amazing, eye-opening, shocking, upsetting, beautiful memoir. The plot was addicting because his story is just so unbelievable at every turn. I’d say the story is sort of naturally broken into 3 movements of the story: running, fighting, and recovering, but each part was crazier to read than the last. Great, fantastic story that inspires perspective and an overwhelming sense of gratitude
