Gripping, well-written book September 17, 2008
The courage of this boy and his experiences will live in your heart and mind. He describes his life as a boy soldier in such a detailed and eloquent style that you can read the horrors of his life without feeling an insult to your sensitivities. He lays his emotions bare and you love him. I had no idea these conditions existed for children. I am always amazed at the strength and tenacity of human beings. This book adds to that store of amazement. Read it, it does not disappoint.

A must read! September 14, 2008
I finished this book in 2 days. It is a must read for anyone. I definately have a richer appreciation for life. There is always someone, somewhere who has it tougher than we do.

A must read September 9, 2008
I loved this book. The author gives a very vivid description of his experiences in war. It was a big reminder of the consequences of war and terrorism. The last half of the book was a little slow and didnt keep my interest as much as the first half.

a long way gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier September 3, 2008
Unbelievable story told through the eyes of a 12 year old boy. I read some of the negative reviews posted on this website related to this book. The reviewers felt his (the author) facts weren't true and some things were impossible to have happened. I want to dispell any commentary surrounding this. Remember, this is being told from a 12 year old child's perspective. It brings awareness to the despicable acts humans place upon each other. And, as always, the most central question remains: What will we do about it? Probably nothing. At the very least, read the book. Then, watch Blood Diamonds. The scenes in which boy soldiers are shown are based on the fact presented in this book.
