Everybody have to know the story of Yeonmi Park, the story of the North Korean people I always feel curious about this country who is lead by a crazy man. Indeed, we can't say that North Korea is a normal country. You should read this book to know the reality of the life of North Korean people. Anyway, when I buy an autobiography, I'm not looking for an amazing stylistic effect, I only care about the story of the author, and here the story is so important and emotional. When I read the book, it doesn't mark me. I'm not gonna lie : Yeonmi Park doesn't have a specific stylistic effect. This part is about human traffickers in China, who buys women to sell them to their 'husband', and about rapesįinally, the part in South Korea is about her integration in the actual world ( and it doesn't seem easy to live in one of the most modern country on earth when you used to live in one of the most repressive country in the world. There, she discovered how the world was, with phones, shops, and Internet. She talks about the different 'social classes' of North Korea, the black market, and of course, the propaganda

She describes her living conditions, and also the living conditions of the adults. In the first part in North Korea, the author speaks about her childhood ( if we can call this a childhood ). There are 3 parts in the book : the first one is about North Korea, the second about China and the last one deals with South Korea
