In the article that claims Ishmael Beah was 15 years old when his village attacked, they identify Mohamed as Ishmael's brother. Mohamed is not his brother, Junior was his brother. Don't read that article, it is not accurate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cjunior22 (talk • contribs) 19:55, 19 January 2008 (UTC) People are often known by two names, and Junior sounds like a nickname. In Muslim families, boys are often named Mohammad, but known by other names. - anarkali[reply]

Question? Who is WILSON? It just says Wilson's Sierra Leone contacts? thanks! Ponee007 (talk) 23:51, 26 February 2008 (UTC)ponee007[reply]

Very impressive

I must say, his book is one of the better ones I've read in a long time. Highly recommended for almost any audience and especially for those who are about thirteen or so. Wilybadger 02:16, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I heard he made more than cruel things! We should copy it into article! In other cases you could think he was a friendly boy!!! Now he is - well, I think so - but he wasn´t. Dagadt

Controversy section

The last 4 paragraphs of the Controversy section (everything after reference #13) are unsourced and sound like original research. As I recall, the rebuttals from Beah and his publishers that appeared in The Australian make some of those same points, but those 4 paragraphs go way beyond that.
