A Long Way Gone Final Blog

The book has ended and Ishmael has found himself a grown man. He still thinks about times from the war but for the most part he finds himself at peace. This book i can truely say influenced me in a major way. The things that Ishmael experienced while in the war against the rebels and living in that war zone are just amazing. He seems to be one of the greatest heroes of our generation and should be recognized for all of his hardships. His drive to want more and question what is right and wrong in this world is just amazing. He also had to dig himself out of a drug addiction that honestly most people do not come out of even with the best therapy available. I can honestly say this is one of the best books Ive ever read. Its a eye opener for sure and If there is anything i can take from this book its that you should never ever give up there is always good in this world even if we tend to think the other way. It also taught me the horrible side of war and civil war for that matter. I'm glad that i chose this book to read over most of the others.
