✨ Thrifted ✨
My friend suggested I take this book from a book swap and I’m very glad I did. A thorough insight into why North Korea’s Kim Jong-un and the family continues to rule in the way it does, it certainly isn’t an easy read but a worthwhile one 😳 I dabbled in it for the first 25%, but the remaining 75% I whizzed through because I wanted to know more and get a grasp of the horrors Jang Jin-sung faced 😢
4 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨ Definitely worth a read 👏🏼
