So I read a new book yesterday...yes, just yesterday. Actually I started it around 9:00 Saturday night and finished it last night.
Anyway, it's called "A Long Way Gone" and is the memoir of a former child soldier in Sierra Leone. Clearly it was good because I couldn't even put it down. I've seen this kind of stuff in "Blood Diamond" and I've heard about it in various news articles and things like that. But it is so hard to wrap my head around. As I was reading I couldn't believe the things that happened and as a story alone it was so crazy, but to really try and believe that this was someone's life, this stuff REALLY happened, is crazy.
If you're looking for a goodie, read it. Which in itself is such a weird thing to say, because it's someone's life...
