City of Thorns: Nine Lives in the World's Largest Refugee Camp by Ben Rawlence


 


I found this to be a gripping insight into the lives of people living in a refugee camp.

This is a huge culture shock, and I think that was ultimately the point. I had no idea this refugee camp existed, let alone that it is the largest ever. I had no idea there were so many disadvantaged people, with limited resources and an expansive population boom.
However, at times it was confusing to read as it jumps from person to person, and I had a hard time separating what was an overall review of current events and what was specific to one person's circumstances.
