Ten Thousand Shells and Counting: A Memoir (Teenage War Survival Book 1) by Nadija Mujagic – Review by Lisa Helmick

Ten Thousand Shells and Counting: A Memoir (Book 1) by Nadija Mujagic
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This one was a huge struggle for me. The story seems disjointed at times and filled with displaced random thoughts. I struggled to stay focused and did a lot of skimming as the book moved along. I could not become invested in her life as a result of this. I don’t read a ton of memoirs and maybe thats the problem with my struggle to connect. I expected a timeline and not just randomness.

I did enjoy the last line or so at the end of each chapter. They seemed thought provoking. Chapter 23 was my favorite because it was written with feeling and it evoked feelings in me. The pictures at the end were a nice addition.
