For a moment I thought I had put A long way gone down and started reading a black comedy (for those of you who don't those what it is, it's a type of comedy where thing so horrible happen, that you almost laugh instead of cry.) The sheer irony of him reaching his family only for them to die...it would be funny if it wasn't so sad. When the government caught them, it was so sudden and abrupt. He wrote so little about it that I had to go back and reread to realize that he had been captured.
