MacKenzie G. (stronghold) reviewed on 8/7/2012

Helpful Score: 2

I just finished this book about 2 weeks ago. This book was part of my College summer reading list. I will admit I had several preconceived opinions before reading. However, I found this book to be entertaining. I rarely found a dull moment in the story. I appreciated Ishmael Beah's rendition of his childhood. He was compelling, courageous, insightful, and strategic in his quests. I found that several portions of the book were graphic, gruesome, depressing, and heartbreaking. I do hope Ishmael has found happiness now.
