darby64 's review for:

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

emotional medium-paced

---

I thought this story was incredibly moving and eye-opening. At the end I was so curious and desperate to know more I googled the author Yeonmi Park. At this point it was a 4 star read.  What I found out drastically changed my opinion of the author and her story and don't want to rate it. I'm also quite angry. Lesson learnt - research a book before readinf. If you are thinking about reading this book, I would strongly recommend that you find out about the author first before deciding if this is a book for you.
