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

3.0

This might actually be one of the more uplifting books that I've read lately. Sure, you have to make it through the horrible deaths of almost everybody that the author ever met - but the end somehow manages to bring the reader up out of the darkness without losing the message of the previous 200 pages. Seriously.

With that said, be aware that this volume does contain descriptions of how horrid human beings can be to each other. Do not read if you are already depressed about something...
