I liked it...I didn't love it but i thought the plot was really interesting and could have possibly gone in many further directions.
Definitely not for the squeamish. Very long unnecessary gory violent scenes (mostly animals)... not that bad at first but becomes extremely repetitious. Eh ending. Seemed to go from very slow to "I'd better wrap this up in the last 20 pages or so". I could see a sequel working a lot out.
Heartbreaking ...but a must read for anyone, even if you aren't interested in the secrecy of North Korea. No illusions just brutal truth. Highly recommend.
Can't believe it took me this long to read this book. It is a classic for a reason. Fantastic and definitely one of the best I've read. Don't watch the movie made in 1984 after...it in no way will live up to your expectations.
Another greatly researched book from Schechter. Beautiful layout. Great additions for documentation.
Interesting, frightening, and well researched. Disturbing but recommended for other true crime fans.
