Ok I'm on the third part of this now. It reads more like fiction as it's so glossed over and seems like fate smiled on her a lot. Let me know if you agree.

Finished this today. I felt it too sugarcoated but I also can sympathise with her story. I don't think anyone that hasn't lived in a dictatorship country could possibly understand what they go through on a day to day life.


Dianne (deemitchell) | 349 comments Started this today, a bit late i realise, but if im lucky i will finish before the end of the month. Book is very interesting so far, a story from inside north korea is very interesting.

Reading Lolita at the moment but very uncomfortable reading. Think I'll do a Games of thrones to break it up.


Dianne (deemitchell) | 349 comments Ive read that, it is very disturbing in parts.

Yep hate it but I will finish it.


Dianne (deemitchell) | 349 comments That so like me, if i start a book i hate to abandon it.


Dianne (deemitchell) | 349 comments Actually i really enjoyed this, i felt i learned a lot about north korea.

Jon I enjoyed this. Seem to be developing a taste for these books about North Korea- we had one last year in this group. Very topical at the moment!

Jon I keep forgetting, but I want to watch the author's YouTube video of her famous speech
