I find this book very hard to rate. Having seen quite some interviews and having read some articles I really don't know what to believe anymore. There are a lot of dicrepansies between her stories and also between her and her mom's story, but who am I to decide how factual this is? Even if this story isn't completely true, I think Yeonmi her life wasn't easy in North Korea and the book still gives a lot of insight on the life of the North Korean refugees.
