review 1: While this was a heavy subject and a very concerning one, I was totally immersed in Romeo Dallaire's crusade against child soldiers! It is hard to believe what goes on in the world but it is all too real and beyond anyone's comprehension. By countries banding together and by individuals standing up for children's lives and rights to have a childhood will we eradicate this senseless practice in these underdeveloped nations. This should not exist in the world and the fact that it does shows that we are simply not looking out for children, period!! The great nations of this world are not fighting this war against using children as scapegoats but continue to fight others that are senseless is beyond me!! Another of life's great mysteries!!
review 2: I really enjoye... mored this book. It was well written and engaging; eye-opening doesn't even begin to describe it. I just found that it was written more like an essay or report rather than a informative history lesson. Dallaire often repeated himself, which for some parts was helpful, other times annoying. Near the end I was feeling more like he was drawing it out and trying to fill the pages.Within the first couple pages I was hooked, and my heart was already in for the cause; but I felt that Dallaire was trying too hard to make a point and to get the reader involved in being an activist. I did not feel that it was necessary at all.Overall, a wonderful read. less
