jraia 's review for:

In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom by Yeonmi Park

challenging dark informative medium-paced

---

Not going to put a star rating on this. The story was intensely personal and constantly heartbreaking, but it really sucks to see the author is now an avid Trump supporter. I hope someday she finds complete freedom from the brainwashing of dictators, because she clearly has not yet. 

I haven’t looked into the claims that her story isn’t entirely true, but regardless of the exact details, it’s insane that someone can do through the ordeal of escaping North Korea only to support a rapist tyrant who has praised the Kims.
