a long way gone

so just finished the book im reading for hill. interesting story bout this guy in sierra leone (africa) who gets stuck in a war, family dies, he joins army, gets selected outta army, rehabs back into civilian life basically. but i mean it shows how tough life can be for some people, and how someones ideals can quickly change depending on circumstances. his story kinda effects you, like seeing what hes gone through and everything, it's disconcerting. this one girl is like an angel to him sorta, shes so kind to him that he eventually opens up to her. she doesnt have to, barely even knew him, but wanted to help him out so that he wouldnt have to suffer as much. world would be better off if more people cared as much as she did, shit.
