Helpful Score: 1

He fled attacking rebels and wandered a land rendered unrecognizable by violence. By thirteen, he'd been picked up by the government army, and Beah, at heart a gentle boy, found that he was capable of truly terrible acts. This is a rare and mesmerizing account, told with real literary force and heartbreaking honesty. The review couldn't of said it any better. His journey through the violence to a better life is amazing and very scary. It strikes up terrifiying emotions in the reader.
