Although I have not read Sammy & Juliana in Hollywood I would strongly suggest reading A Long Way Gone. I have seen the author, Ishmael Beah, speak in person and it was amazing. It must have been about 6 months ago but some of the things he said still stick with me. In perticualar he talked about how he did some horrible things and personally thinks that he lost his humantiy and then somehow regained it. I can't express how powerfully he said those words. He simply comes from a diffrent world then anything I have known and reading A Long Way Gone is sure to be a great experience.
