A Long Way Gone Chap: 21

It must be devastating for Beah to have to be thrown right back into the war. He has just learned to trust people again and has settled into his new life, then the war comes into the city. I was surprised that the rebels and the army joined forces to overthrow the government. I always thought that the army was fighting to protect the president but I guess not? The soldiers just come into the city and start killing people and basicly doing what they did to the other towns and villages they destroyed. It is a good thing though that Beah escaped the war and got to go live in America. At least for him things will be good. I didn't like how the book ended at all. It was talking about how he was in Guinea and was trying to get to America then Beah flashes back to a story that the village elder would tell the kids and then it just ended. Overall though I thought that the book was well writen and it really captured the readers attention.
