Never Fall Down: A Boy Soldier's Story of Survival

This was honestly so amazing and I can't believe I would have never read it without Reading Olympics. The epilogue made me sob like a baby and I felt so much while reading this book. It's based on a topic I know little to nothing about, so it was a heartbreaking and harrowing read. To imagine the atrocities that these people went through is eye-opening for me and I recommend this book to all people.McCormick is a phenomenal story-teller. This reminds me of a more interesting and fast-paced version of [b:A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier 43015 A Long Way Gone Memoirs of a Boy Soldier Ishmael Beah https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1436596718s/43015.jpg 825414]. It reads like an autobiography, and yet it is not. The characters are memorable in their own ways and touch the reader's heart in a multitude of fashions. The pacing is fantastic, so I was never bored by the plot or felt as though I couldn't keep up. Read this book. You will not regret it and you will learn something from it no matter who you are.
