The Orphan Master's Son by Adam Johnson
5.0

So many fascinating layers, like a gruesome North Korean onion. Wait, that's not a thing. This book though, is really something. Even after the last chapter, when I knew how it ends, I wanted to re-read it to look for all of the clues. I really hate the rampant overuse of the adjective "epic" to describe things that are merely overstuffed and/or delicious (say, burritos) but I'm not a good enough writer to describe this book any better. Bravo, Adam Johnson. Well played.
