Nothing to envy

I must say I came across this book by chance while shopping at Amazon. The book so well written that even though it is written in 3rd person it feels as if those being interviewed are the ones telling the story.

The author, has such a quality in getting across all the experiences that North Koreans have experienced and reading the book you feel as if you are there. Even though the author gathered all the information via interviews it feels as if you are reading a story or novel easily getting a mental  picture in your head.

I must say I am not one of those who can read for hours on end but this book was so interesting that I could not put down. Besides the good writing, I found it very informative learning things I did not have a clue about and really feel I have a clear picture of people's lives there before the famine and after.

I must say by the time I had reached the end I could not believe what life had been in North Korea. I certainly did learn allot and I highly recommend it.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
