A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier
by Ishmael Beah
Sheesh! I really struggled with this one. I mean, I *liked* it but also not so much. This probably has more to do with me than with the actual book. I read it over a few weeks and that's almost always a disaster. The writing struggles to flow and I understand that's not exactly Beah's fault as he's not necessarily using an American style of English. However, the flow of language was disjointed and didn't make me want to read as much at one time. The story he's telling, though, is so important and a valuable voice that needs to be heard.
