Colombiano by Rusty Young

5.0

What a great book! Plenty of action and intrigue here - about boy soldiers in Colombia and the corrupt political and business interests who sway them into needing to take up arms. I was impressed with the author's writing and story style. It definitely kept my interest and made my way through this almost 700-page book. Action-packed, it never felt boring. I can see this being a movie some day and drawing attention to world problems.

Thanks for the free copy for an honest review!

There's no answer to that (what to be when I grow up). But that's okay. Not knowing is an important part of life.

Goodbye is for people you'll see again.

When you've lost someone close, the most painful dreams are memories.

If you're truly seeking justice, don't get it confused with revenge.

What is the difference between a politician who is ignorant and a politician who is indifferent? Don't know and don't care.

As they say in Colombia, 'Words are beautiful.'
