A Long Way Gone

Memoirs of a Boy Soldier
Jul 06, 2016aserrano318 rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
This was one of the best books I have ever read, but was also one of the hardest to read. The experiences and memories told by Beah throughout the story can sometimes take an emotional toll on the reader. It's crucial to the story that Beah does not hold back description wise to truly show the reader just how bad of a situation all of this was. Beah's incredible writing style makes this novel a fast paced read that flows smoothly. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to become more informed on the child soldier crisis or anyone that just wants a good fast paced read.
