baimengshan's review against another edition
3.5
The writing isn’t the best in the world but then again, I didn’t start this book for her writing skills. I read this book to get to know her message and her story, and to educate myself on a different reality than mine.
Some people criticise her for changing the story between interviews. Some things she must have adapted along the way as a coping mechanism to deal with all of the pain. I don’t know if all of the things she shared are exactly accurate but I imagine that after all she went through, reliving those memories must have been painful. What she wrote made sense to me and it was really easy to follow along.
Park Yeonmi, thank you for this book! Thank you for allowing me to learn more about a reality so different than mine.
Moderate: Rape and Sexual violence
