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

4.0

I thought this was a very interesting view into life in a refugee camp. The author did a good job talking about both the large struggles that its residents go through and also the routine tasks of human life. I had a little trouble keeping all of the people in the book straight but that is probably my fault. Even though it isn't really part of the scope of the book the few times the author talked about the people that work in the donor agency or in security for the camp was particularly interesting. Would have been great to have more of that.
