My Childhood Under Fire
by: Nadja Halilbegovich
This book is about teenage Nadja Halibegovich's life in a war zone, how she and her town survived in a place where bombs went off and where there were snipers at every corner. On April 6, 1992 Sarajevo fell into war, and Nadja couldn't escape until August 28, 1995. In here you learn how a bunch of kids trapped in an apartment building, found hope and spread it as far as they could.
I liked this book, but it is very sad at some points, I remember writing "...I'd love to get to the end, but I can't read any more...One thing I know is that if I tired to use my tape recorder. I would probably cry. It's not that I couldn't deal with the loose of good food (I'll eat anything), or the loose of electricity, but the suffering it self that hurts me, and that I can't seem to do anything about it. In this book it is more then a write up of the war, but a write up on how to never give up no matter what! It talks about how war changes everything. I recommend this book to everybody.

ReplyDeleteThis contains a sentence fragment followed by improper use of the word "loose". I suggest Word Smith never write for this blog.
