Pikachu Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Twilight? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! It's seriously overrated, because more than 3/4 of the whole book is thoughts and descriptions of Belle and the vampires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dismal Euphony Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Is it wrong that I somewhat enjoyed the Twilight movie? Actually, I take that statement back. Maybe I just enjoyed looking at Kristen Stewart... She's quite a cutie, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the frickin school reading assignments brought me down D:[/quote'] Its about the Sierra Leone civil war. From the back of the book: At the age of twelve, Ishmael Beah fled attacking rebels in Sierra Leone and wandered a land rendered unrecognizable by violence. By thirteen, he'd been picked up by the government army, and Beah, at heart a gentle boy, found that he was capable of truly terrible acts. At sixteen, he was removed from fighting by UNICEF, and through the help of the staff at his rehabilitation center, he learned how to forgive himself, to regain his humanity, and finally, to heal. And they aren't joking about terrible acts. At one point in the book, Beah describes how they had a bunch of rebel prisoners lined up, and him and a bunch of other boys slit their throats, in a competition to see which one's prisoner would die fastest. The winner was promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
