This book, A Long Way Gone, was a very touchy heart-felt story. It is about a young African boy who has only heard of war never seen it. Until it hits his village. Now he goes from village to village with his brothers trying to avoid it. This book is a very violent book and I would not recommend it to those with a weak stomach. I thought the book was entertaining but not all that. It kind of drags on and does get a little boring. Killing is fun to read about but its the same thing over and over and over again. Some guy getting his head blown off and you starving gets old surprisingly quickly. But I would say it is a readable book none the less, It was worth reading.
