I finished A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier
I’m still trying to process the book, as it is one of those that you read and it moves your neurons. It’s also one of those books that makes you want to travel to foreign countries (or strike up something similar here) and rescue children in bad situations.
It’s a fast read… only a few hundred pages and is incredibly interesting. It’s a memoir about Ishmael’s life growing up as a child soldier in Sierra Leone. Very detailed and very personal. Loved it.
