This book is such a powerful experience of one man's determination and the human condition of survival.

By the end I was trying to hold back tears and was reminded of how truly privileged my life is in comparison to how many others struggle.

The most amazing part was that the author never lost hope in the face of all his struggles even when things were so dismal.

This was a truly solemn experience to read and an eye opener that I feel like needed to happen. A true story that NEEDED to be told, to allow for that veil to be removed from a part of the world we so seldom think about.
