A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier
by Ishmael Beah
I've wanted to read this for a while (since it came out). I checked out the audio version over Thanksgiving 2011, hoping I could listen to it on my drive to NC. Alas, I didn't like the narrator, and I found it very hard to follow. Just after Christmas I finally watched Blood Diamond, and found myself ready to try this again.
Updated: WOW. Why did it take me so many years to read this? Powerful, eloquent, and horrifying, because you know it's true. This war did unspeakable things to these children, and they to one another. It took me about 100 pages (nearly half the book) to really get into it, but what a powerful, unforgettable read.
