- along way gone review
Here it is a book about adventure and action, emotion and death. The memoirs of a boy soldier. The war in South Africa took its toll on thousands of people, emotionally and physically. Poverty plagues Ishmael Beah in Along Way Gone.
Along Way Gone should be read by adults only. The book uses graphic description and profanity not suitable for minors or teens. The events in this book have happened and have happened to many children. This is nothing line any book I have ever read. Exciting ... Read More
Rating: - Opened my eyes
I want to preclude this review by saying I do have some minor spoilers here to the plot but they don't give so much away that it would in any way diminish your enjoyment of this book.
Having heard about the ongoing conflicts in Sierra Leone and knowing that often children in many different countries are forced into military service far too young I was drawn to this book and Ishmael's story.

- Too much empty space in the narrative
An interesting story, but child soldiers fighting for the side of the government seem a lot less interesting than those fighting on the sides of the rebels.
Here, although there were some harrowing, even blood curling incidents, they were spaced out far enough that there was a lot of empty space, both in the story and in the logic of the narrative.

Rating: - INCREDIBLE AND HEART FELT
When I put this book down all I could say was, "Wow." You feel the pain he must have been going through when he lost his family, you feel his anger at the way he was treated by the Rebels and you are shocked when the Rebels who claim to be siding with the people are killing the people with joy.
Rating: - Very impressive and inspiring
This book is disturbing and for that reason should be on the short list of required texts for college. Unlike the WWI and WWII war books which read like ancient history this one hits close to home as most of the events transpired within the last decade. The author does a great job of telling his story from a boys point of view with imagery that will give you nightmares.
If you cannot handle reading about graphic violence, rape, murder, wartime atrocities, then do not buy this book. Otherwise ... Read More
