4.0

his was a very powerful book -- one that will stay with me for a very long time. I found it difficult to read in parts and I often had to set is aside to recover from its terrifying truths. Nonetheless, it is an important message that young Mr. Beah imparts and one that we best learn from. I do wish he'd carried on with his tale a bit farther than he did... I wanted to know how he got back into the US. Regardless, it was a fantastic book.
