A Long Way Gone – Memoirs of a Boy Soldier
By Ishmeal Beah
This book, "A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier" will hook you from the start. Be warned it is not for the faint of heart. It is a brutally honest, yet necessary, autobiography of boy soldier, Ishmael Beah. It was (still may be) a #1 National Bestseller and I agree with Washington Post writer, Carolyn See, who says," Everyone in the world should read this book...We should read it to learn about the world and about what it means to be human." I will say every book I read I hold up to the Word of God and this book will spurn you on to much needed prayer for those in our world caught in the grips of civil war! Just as a “heads up”, there are some curse words in this book.
