Интересувам се от подобни истории и мога да кажа, че това е една от най-завладяващите истории за Северна Корея, която съм чела. Определено много вдъхновяваща. В крайна сметка, ако човек като нея е успял да постигне всичко това, какво точно ни спира нас? Липса на време, на възможности, или нещо друго? Колко по-изпаднал може да си от това, през което е минала тя? Определено препоръчвам книгата (грабва още от първата страница) на всеки, който иска да разбере какво е да живееш в това подобие на страна.

I am really interested in stories like that but I can say this is one of the most interesting books on North Korea I've ever read. Really inspirational. After all, if she could achieve all that, what is stopping us??? Lack of time or opportunities? How much worse can you get, compared to what she has been through? Definitely recommend (it's a page-turner from sentence 1) to anyone who would like to know what's like to live in this 'country'.

This book comes with some major trigger warnings ( R*pe, s*x trafficing, abortion, and death of a loved one ) but I really appreciated Yeonmi's honesty in sharing her experience. These accounts of people's lives in North Korea and the struggle to escape must be told. Wishing this lovely lady all the joy in the world after knowing her heartbreaking childhood and youth.

No hay forma de hacerle justicia a este libro con una reseña. Simplemente decir que me duele el corazón por todas aquellas personas que siguen viviendo bajo ese regimen autoritario en Corea del Norte, deseo de corazón que algún día puedan conocer la libertad y una vida digna.

Wow, what a harrowing tale of escaping North Korea and the path that took her to China where she was sex trafficked and eventually escaped to South Korea. At times it was unbelievable that someone could endure all of this and unnerving that this story could be happening today.

This book had me smiling, crying and on the edge of my seat. Such a remarkable story; a simple review cannot do it justice. Any amazingly honest account of an amazing life.

just wow

I was driven through tears and anger and just so many emotions reading Yeonmi Parks story on her escape from North Korea. This book is just…wow

This book was fascinating and has started me on a quest to learn more and more about North Korea. You kinda already think you know what it's like but this book is a harrowing tale about the human spirit to survive and fly free. Loved it.
