A Long Way to War
A Long Way Gone; Ismael Beah; Sarah Crichton; 2007 Fiction
I really liked the book, i thought it was interesting when the kid first started talking about when he went into war. It was about a kid and his brothers that were only 12 that went into war. When they got back from war they got taken to the army to fight again. after they got out of the army they went home and there whole village was burnt down so they had to survive and steal food.
" The first time that i was touched by war i was 12"
Ismael Beah
This is the first book i read by this author. I can compare this to another book because it was talking about not giving up, and i think this is what A Long Way Gone is talking about to.
"They didnt want people to abandon the town, because they needed to use the civilians as a shield against the military."
This book really spoke to me, Ishmael went through so much, having to fight at such a young age and then to have his home burnt down. Now i know to never give up. I rate this book a 5 star. it was so interesting and fun to read.
