A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier
by Ishmael Beah
Whew. Simple read, heavy stuff.Ishmael's mastering of English is so simple that it's powerful. I found myself underlining 3-4 word sentences that rocked my soul. His understanding of his situation is communicated in such powerful and heavy ways, it's almost as if his understanding of his situation is child like. He doesn't use large words or flowery poetic language. He makes statements.
His story, although moving, is such a common occurrence for those in Africa. Beah simply provides a voice for a political issue that desperately needs attention. Let it be an awareness piece, even more than that, let it be an action piece.
