City of Thorns: Nine Lives in the World's Largest Refugee Camp by Ben Rawlence

4.0

I don't like the way it was written. The way character shifted chapter by chapter cause a disruption in my reading flow. It disengage my attention away from the book. Regardless of how i feel about the writing, this book is informative. The author gave voices to these refugees and shared their story with us. When it comes to refugees, most people failed to recognized that between border of Kenya and Somalia, there lies an enormous refugees camp with a huge population. They keep multiplying regardless of how scarce the resources are. Kenya doesn't want them. Somalia is not a safe place to live for them. Thus, they stuck in between these countries and left to fend for themselves. The conflicts and crimes like bombing, killing and raping are rampant. My heart is aching for them. I was not ready to end the journey as i need to know more but i'm already at the last page of this book.
