I find it really hard to review this book. I loved this book when I read it. It was my favorite book for the longest time because of how powerful it was and I was recommending it to everyone to shed some light on the atrocities committed in North Korean prison camps. However, now, after knowing that large elements of Donghyuk's story was fabricated and altered.... I don't know how to feel. What he experienced was inhumane and terrible for sure, but.. knowing now that he lied changes how I feel about it. I have the original 2012 printing and read it not long after it's original release, so I feel like if I'm going to reread this book, I will have to get the new 2015 printing to due to the revisions Blaine Harden has made since my initial read.
