aweekinthelife's review against another edition

reflective tense medium-paced

3.5

the author tells an engaging story and does a good job of explaining what her world felt like to the reader. i knew a lot of people talked about this book and whatnot, but i didn't expect this book to be so stressful and violent. 

impressive what the author lived through to get to where she is. and maybe a useful datapoint for what can happen in extreme situations, but not quite the book for me.
