Escape from Camp 14: One Man's Remarkable Odyssey from North Korea to Freedom in the West by Blaine Harden

2.0

This was okay. I struggled to give it two stars because I don’t want downvote someone’s life story. My problems with the book were not with the narrative account but with the way it was written by the third party author. Often pieces by journalists can be impersonal and lack the “heart and soul” of a book. Harden missed the mark on this one and did Shin a disservice.

Shin’s story is remarkable and I’m planning on finding a more well written account of his story.
