 * A long way gone**

by Ishmael Beah

a book review by Angel

Their are many war books in this world, but none of the war books inspired me and touched me as much as "A long way gone" by Ishmael Beah. This book was about the life of a boy in the war. He was a soldier for a time, a boy fleeing from the rebels, and a boy who was sent to New York to get tell how dangerous life is when you live in Sierra Leon. Beah's book makes you feel like if you were the one in the book doing all the killing running and crying. Beah also tells you everything in this book with great detail. What I really liked about this book is that it has what I want in a book. It has drugs, violence, and guns. I also liked it because it has everything in great detail that makes the book a movie in your mind. Their was nothing in this book that I didn't like. This book is one of the greatest books I have read. I would recommend this to every single person in this world because it is a sad book that can make kids see what it was like being a soldier, a boy running for his life from the rebels, and a boy who tells his stories for a change.
