This book really captivated me from start to finish. I had heard of Yeonmi's story before from the numerous interviews she does, but I had not heard of some specific details about her family and her survival throughout her teenage years. It humbles me and I am grateful to live in a country where freedom is a right and I am able to achieve my goals without significant hardship or sacrifice. I am glad that after all the hardship Yeonmi endured, she was able to gain freedom and is now able to spread awareness and information to others.kaigeg's review against another edition

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.
