An excellent story from the perspective of one of the Lost Boys of Sudan. Eggers writes wonderfully, with a lot of emotion and a great voice that doesn't feel condescending or pandering to a bleeding heart. It's feels like an honest account of the horrors of what these boys went through during the wars in Sudan and their subsequent lives in refugee camps and resettlement in other nations. But be warned, this book is depressing as hell.
