Good book ... Book reader's love it

I decided to order this book based on what I had watched from the well-known film Blood Diamond (2007) starring Leo Di Caprio and Djimon Honsou (protoganists). I was particularly fascinated with the brainwash aspect which fed my curiosity even more to ask further questions such as why use children in the war? What was so special about them? Why couldn’t the commander of the RUF use themselves as pawns? I was also particularly interested in the music and discovered that Emmanuel was also an ex-child soldier who had sang that song in the Blood Diamond brainwash part. As I ventured into the world of child soldiers online,I realised that I also wanted justice on their behalf and that something must be done too. I’m glad I read excerpts before buying this book as the author taught me to be grateful for the blessings I have been given and that being an innocent child is very important and means just that. Overall, a very compelling read. It sounds alot like a Hollywood movie but this is too good to be true. Delivery: came as expected. Price; very affordable. Presentation; very good condition.

I couldn't stop reading and was nervoous even if I knew that the author survived to write a book. Some parts are a little slow but otherwise I devoured the book. It gave me a new and more real view on the topic and I highly recommend it.
