Powerful. I did not really understand all the dynamics of what is happening in that region so when I heard about it on the news it was so far-removed and kind of unbelievable, but its true. I can't imagine what these people experienced and don't pretend to know how they feel or what you would say to them because there really isnt anything you could say, it is what is. I was shocked, disgusted, horrified and amazed. These boys went through unimaginable things and for this young man to man to be ok and be able to write out his thoughts so clearly and so honestly, knowing that some people will be very uncomfortable, I congratulate him for his personal strength. I highly recommend this book. The content may be strong for some.
