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

adventurous tense fast-paced

4.0

This book is beautifully written. I appreciate how the author, Ishmael Beah, ends the book in particular. It doesn’t allow you to forget the journey and is very impactful.

Moderate: Blood, Child death, Child abuse, Drug use, Drug abuse, Gun violence, and Death

I believe it be good for people to be aware that these things take place in this book. I do not wish for it to hold them back from reading. The author did a wonderful job of conveying his experiences without painting graphic pictures.
