Summary: A Sudanese immigrant recalls his life as a child soldier and his struggle to escape his past.
I know I have trouble with non linear books, but I found myself going, "What? What? What?"
When I wasn't cringing at the descriptions of brutality, I was sighing over human stupidity and Valentine's naivety. I sure there have to be better books of child soldiers and immigrants.
I also don't care for Eggers' writing style and that fact that this is a "fictionalized autobiography" much in the vein in James Frey, well, either be fiction or non-fiction, not that amorphous category that is neither.
