I am very interested in Africa and even though I usually stick to memoirs (Some of my favorites are A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier and They Poured Fire on Use From the Sky) I did like this book well enough. I would like readers to understand that the story takes place in a fictional country with a fictional war and war lords, this was something that really confused me while I was reading it and disappointed me later. The ending was not at all realistic even if it was satisfying and I got the over all feeling that the author was trying to sugar it up. I wish he might have incorporated more true to life events and gone with a more reasonable depiction of some of the wars in Africa, even if he didn't use a real country.
