Author: Blaine Harden
Genre: Political Science/History
Rating Out of Five: 5
I really enjoyed it, I think that I will end up purchasing this book at some point because I would like to look at more of the information in the authors end notes. I ended up reading it over about 4 or 5 shifts are work on my breaks and I got through it quite fast. My interest stayed piqued for the whole book!!
This book is the story of a young man named Shin Donghyuk who is born inside a labour camp in North Korea. It goes into how his life was inside the camp, how he was raised, the living conditions, the human interactions with “friends” and family, and the continual fear of being beaten or killed. From there it goes on to tell of his journey to China and eventually to South Korea after his escape from Camp 14, which is denied to exist.
