I put off reading this for quite a while, thinking it was going to be a difficult read. In one sense, it is a very difficult read, given the many awful circumstances the author went through in North Korea. It is very readable, however, and I'd recommend it to anyone who can handle the harshness, for an understanding of what's going on at ground level in North Korea.
