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

4.0

I found this book a little slow at first. It took me awhile to get into it. Once I did, I enjoyed it. It shed a lot of light on a period of history and a geographical area that I know so little about. I wish that the beginning had a little more juxtaposition of Beah now vs. then---I think I may have been a little more interested from the start if it did.
