An incredibly interesting read, and very informative. 

Although there are reports of inaccuracies of the memoir, the author does address this in the prologue that her own memories may not be accurate.  I think it's normal for memories of the past to be distorted after so much time, trauma, dictatorship has passed.

A heartbreaking but inspiring and informative read, this book paints a vivid picture of life in DPRK. Taken with a grain of salt, however, given the inconsistencies in her story reported by the media.
