First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers, by Loung Ung
5.0
This is one of the best books i've ever read. I never knew that one could show events in such a real way, almost making you believe that you're actually there.
It is a tough book. But not in the way that it was badly written, but in the way that it is hard to remain cold to what you read, knowing that everything is true, everything happened.
The author is incredible. The book was written in a rather simple way, although you can't overlook the fact that the story was anything but simple to live.
This book deserved 5 and even more stars.
