I saw the doco and this was a great behind the scenes type book. The DPKR remains one of those mysterious destinations I will likely never get to see myself.
This book was to meet #3 - biography prompt of Popsugar 2023 reading challenge

Travel journals are always enjoyable, no more so when it is a trip to those places still out of reach.

I liked that it remained largely a travel journal but didn’t ignore the fact it is also part of the propaganda the North Korean government would sign off on.

A short but interesting read, that is more akin to travel notes from filming a documentary than going into depth, about a country many people don't get to visit. I am however now keen to watch the documentary.
