im doin a book report 4 da eighth grade and i said AW THIS BOOK IS CRAP AW like a loser but then the cover made me think aw maybe its good and i love it its an awesome book
i watched blood diamonds years ago.... and today at my class my teacher aske me if i read books outside the school nd i was like NO. she was like good then now u get to read a "long way gone" i was noooooooooo msss'es u cnt do this to meee... first of all i looked at the back nd read bout this kid being captured nd the first thing came on my mind is BLOOD DIAMONDS
@pink2mimi yea but dont forget sierra leone's neihbors were also fighting for control of the diamond fields yea it mostly happened in leone but many people were killed outside for control over it.
Excellent book....changed me......I appreciate life and everything i have so much more now.....he's an incredibly strong man........One of the greatest books of all time.
@Imsno0zin1394 listen man, if you want to help these Nigerians i am not saying it is a bad thing but forget it for a second. People think about helping others in different countries while they do not realize that they could help in their own country before going to help others.
after reading this book when ever i have some physical or emotional pain i think back to what these boys went through and i almost feel guilty for being such a little bitch with my little pain
I have to read that book for summer reading and long way gone is the best book that I ever read in my life, it really does teaches about what it means to be human <3
This book changed the way i look a the world.
