A Long Way Gone
by Ishmael Beah

Laura C.'s review

5 of 5 stars

bookshelves: non-fiction

Read in February, 2009

I was in 7th grade when I first heard the term, "man's inhumanity to man". Here is a book that tells us exactly what that means. God preserve us from ever finding out firsthand what it means to be far from home, "a long way gone". And God bless the young ones who survive the dark terror and still rise up to see the good. Read the book. Remember for whom the bell tolls.
