Inspiring.I heard about this book while listening to a BBC Podcast one day and the review of the book while mostly positive did hint to the fact that Ms Betancourt was a little full of herself.If I were to survive six and a half years in captivity, I would be full of myself as well. Where many people would have given up, she found a courage to live on despite whatever the FARC did to make life difficult for her.A long read but well worth it.
Badly written. In grammar, as well as sentence structure, logic and overall structure of the story. But this could be due to the Dutch translation. Besides this it is a story written by and about a woman who seems very full of herself, egocentrical and generally not a very likable person. I am sorry if I offend anyone.I can not recommend this book to anyone. Well maybe if you're very religious and French or Colombian...
Very insightful, although too long and repetition of similar events...still amazing story to read!
The last 100 pages flew. I always recommend a book that makes me tear up.
Wow. An extraordinary story by an extraordinary woman. Just read it.
