***** (Out of 5)By: Giuliano Verdicchio
I enjoyed reading this book because it was written about and by Ishmael Beah, a child soldier. I would recommend A long Way Gone to other readers, because it shows, in detail, what happened to people and refugees in this certain war zone in Sierra Leone. I would ask my classmates to read A Long Way Gone because it gives a view into Ishmael Beah's life as a child soldier, but it also shows how he recovered from the war. This book also tells you about some of Sierra Leone's history, and it also tells of the violence and struggles that people have gone through.
This book is an autobiography, It was written about Ishmael Beah's life by Ishmael Beah. He tells in his story about his family's deaths and how he traveled throughout Sierra Leone to escape danger, but how many times it caught up with him. I liked that Ishmael would describe his life before the war reached his hometown, and how he in detail described his family. I also liked that Ishmael used words from his native language to describe many objects. The author was very informative about these words, and now if I were to hear them, I wold automatically know what they mean. The author showed a lot of emotion with his writing technique, and I think that made this autobiography very good.
Ishmael Beah, the author and main character, does a very good job at describing his life in Sierra Leone. Ishmael writes about his sidekicks, the people he meets as his journey progresses, and how they were affected by the war. Ishmael is the protagonist in this story, and he is faced by many threats, including the antagonist(s), the RUF and the Army of Sierra Leone.
Ishmael's writing format was very interesting because he would say something about the present, but then have a flashback into the past. I thought these flashbacks were very interesting because they helped you see Ishmael's old life. Ishmael writes about his past and present in this book, which helps the reader understand his journey even better.
I would recommend this book to people who are 13 years of age and older. Some scenes may not be suitable for younger readers, and I think you should be at least 13 years of age to completely understand the book. I would like you to take a bit of your time to try reading this informative and educational book about the civil war in Sierra Leone.
