At times this book was so heavy with war… but it is a true story and I guess that is how Africa feels. It isn’t exactly an enjoyable read but I appreciate the insight and would like to know more of his story.

Absolutely amazing book

I

fire

The story was great but just way too long, I lost attention a few times and just didn’t wanna read past a point. It wasn’t a bad book though, but I wouldn’t read it twice.

I really liked it

When I started to read this book. I could not put it down! I wanted to learn everything. And Ishmael helped us to visualize the life of a child soldier in Sierra Leone in that time. His childhood was stolen from him! He lost his family! But he was able to still live through everything to tell a story that will remind me that I shouldn’t complain! Wonderful read!

I had to read this book for an English class and at first I thought that I would not enjoy it. However once I started reading it I could not put it down.

Great book to read
