American Seoul

It's difficult to judge a book that's an autobiography. I don't want to judge Helena's story itself. Each of our stories are ours, with all of our ups and downs. So I'll try to base this on how I think she told her story. I was sucked in and wanted to hear what she had to say, so it wasn't difficult get through or anything. I think she presented her story well, but in some areas I think she went into greater detail than was necessary, and I would have liked her to dive a bit deeper in others. I understand she was trying to protect some people, so in that sense I get it. But the areas she dug into weren't the kind of details that most people would get (medical stuff). She went through a lot in her life and came out on the other end of things OK I guess.

emotional

I enjoyed some of the book. At times I was confused with the timing as it jumps around a bit. Overall a nice quick emotional read.
