sabrinz's review against another edition
3.0
Needless to say, this book and the real story it conveys did make me cry. But not for the brutal honesty with which Yeonmi Park describes her journey to freedom (I was mainly too shocked and heartbroken), but the positive outlook on her future and what she is trying to do with her voice and her story.
Simpyl because of the nature of this joruney, it is not a light read, but very much worth it.

Park Yeonmi gives us an insight into the life in North Korea and her hellish escape to South-Korea. Park Yeonmi has lived through things most of us can’t imagine. I’ve learned many things by reading her memoirs
I don’t really have words, you just have to read this.
