In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom
by Yeonmi Park, Maryanne Vollers
I am incredibly impressed with the author's strength, courage, and resilience. I only wish she had hired a strong ghost writer to help deliver her incredible tale. The author falls into the trap of telling rather than showing, which lessens the impact of her story and removes the emotion from the events. It also makes events feel rushed and confused. We moved here, then we moved there. There is very little insight into what the narrator felt while the events of the book transpired.
