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

3.5

"You can't really grow and learn unless you have a language to grow within. [...] reading was teaching me what it meant to be alive, to be human."

I remember watching Yeonmi Park's UN speech and being absolutely horrified. This book brings to light more details and information, but I already had an idea of what to expect, so it was less shocking. I believe everyone should read this book, or at least listen to her UN speech.
