A well researched and exciting book. The author has spent time in North Korea and it shows in the small details of the story. The setting and some of the situations seem fantastical and too sadistic to be real, yet the author once stated that he toned some of it down as reality in North Korea is even worse. He is excellent at setting the mood of living in a paranoid and oppressive state and makes it a visceral experience. Well worth the read!
