A long way gone ch. 1-2

I think that the book is going to be very disturbing and very graphic.  It's interesting to know what these people go through, but you don't need all of the blood detail.  It grosses me out.  The author gave way to much detail on how bloody it was especially with the vomiting up blood.  Also the sadness of it all.  Because they were running away, they got shot.  Only one person survived.  Also with them shooting the other team of young boys.  And after they shot them, they came and sat on them and ate their food.  That is so gross.  Can't the author just say there was blood and move on.  The grossest thing that I wish I hadn't read would have been the part where the intestines are falling out and the brains falling out.  I won't like the book because of the gore in it, but I might like because we need to know what these people have gone through to stop it from happening again.
