A must read about what it’s like growing up under communism. I’ve been appreciating every freedom we have in the Western as I’m following along the author’s experience.

I’m closing out on the end now. I actually could not put the book down last night and am tired today but it was worth it. If anyone wants to know what’s going on in North Korea this book captures the atrocities. This young lady has quite a good vocabulary and puts us right in the middle of the nightmares she lived through.

Following this person's accounts of life in North Korea and then departing from that country is worth finding out about. One can learn the contrasts among countries and between totalitarianism and republics. This is one of the few ways the free world has to find out about such countries like this one.

This book should be required reading in high school and college. The lack of freedom, the propaganda, this book, the real people who suffered through this, should make people realize our freedom here is worth fighting for.

Excellent book. Gives great insight into North Korean society. The journeys and struggles this girl and her family took to escape were amazing, hair-raising, scary, and unbelievable. This book should definitely be made into a movie.
