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

3.0

This is a memoir about a girl who grew up in North Korea and escaped. It gives a good account of what it’s like in North Korea and the completely miserable living conditions. The bravery of Yeon-mi and her family is a really inspiring story. I read one review that questioned the validity of her accounts but it seems to have been disproven. It’s worth reading for a look into the human suffering the North Korean regime has inflicted on its people that’s not really reported in the media.
