I think North Korea is fascinating just because it's SO insane that they basically live in a completely different world over there, so I might give it a try.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-9378233421877755462012-09-18T19:53:05.822-04:002012-09-18T19:53:05.822-04:00I have a copy of this, but I'm still on the fe...I have a copy of this, but I'm still on the fence about reading it. I definitely subscribe to the theory of there being books for certain moods, and I haven't been ready to pick this one up yet. I also thought the graphic novel Pyongyang was enlightening in a creepy way.Alycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919057159829023714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-71384886737551758992012-09-18T16:09:02.388-04:002012-09-18T16:09:02.388-04:00This is a book that I have been a little iffy abou...This is a book that I have been a little iffy about, because of the multiple plot twists, and the reaction that other readers have had to it. I know that there is a lot of crazy stuff happening in this one, but your recommendation is heartening to me, because I know now that after being a little confused, I would eventually get it. I am considering this one when I get finished with Shadow of night. Very nice review today!

But in any event, it's hard for me to read about North Korea because it's sort of too awful to want to contemplate for me.rhapsodyinbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041412748239010264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-52128408697656986252012-09-18T09:25:20.108-04:002012-09-18T09:25:20.108-04:00When you have to work at a book like that, I do be...When you have to work at a book like that, I do better with it in print.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-9290947253251815952012-09-18T07:10:50.098-04:002012-09-18T07:10:50.098-04:00I read this book a while back and I had almost the...I read this book a while back and I had almost the opposite reaction to you. I loved that first section in the boat, but disliked it more as I read on. A lot of it wasn't very likely (increasingly so as book went on) and I found the paradoy of the Dear Leader irritating. So many bad things happen in North Korea and this book almost made light of them - I found it all a bit insensitive. Perhaps it worked better on audio?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698068501004755678noreply@blogger.com
