A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier by Ishmael Beah
adventurous
tense
fast-paced
4.0
This book is beautifully written. I appreciate how the author, Ishmael Beah, ends the book in particular. It doesn’t allow you to forget the journey and is very impactful.
Moderate: Child abuse, Child death, Death, Drug abuse, Drug use, Gun violence, and Blood
I believe it be good for people to be aware that these things take place in this book. I do not wish for it to hold them back from reading. The author did a wonderful job of conveying his experiences without painting graphic pictures.
