A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah 🔖🔖🔖🔖


Possible spoiler.

I just can't seem to give this one five stars. I read it, finished it, and enjoyed it. But I'm not sure I'd recommend it nor do I want to own it. Honestly mostly because I wanted to see more about how he transitioned from where he had been taken to, to where he is today. It stopped at his final escape, and I wanted to know more about his life and his work, and how he returned to his humanity. I felt a bit let down in the last chapter. Also, be warned it's a bit gory and graphic. Not for the faint of heart.
