A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier
by Ishmael Beah
A Long Way Gone is the story of a Boy Solider Ishmael Beah. This was a really hard and heavy read for me. This is one of those books that you have to mentally prepare yourself for because it is laced with violence, child abuse, death and overall dark.
This Memoir is told from Beah's point of view, he recounts his life as a 12 year old child solider during the civil war in Sierra Leone. Even though this was a short read, it felt long and dark. This was so difficult to read because my heart broke for all the persons who died and the childhood that Beah did not get to experience.
Overall a memorable read.
