moniturner 's review for:
A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier
by Ishmael Beah
Like some previous reviews I give 5 stars for the courage of all the boy soldiers! But the writing is not 5 stars.
The story is engaging and I feel a good mix of reality without being so detailed as to put off the reader. At times it is very hard to follow and skips around.
The chronology is very good to give a frame of reference. I felt it ended abruptly and would like an epilogue to give some closure.
This book was great at describing the mind frame of the recently rescued boys and makes me want to be more patient with the reactions of troubled youth.
