Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea by Barbara Demick

5.0

dark informative fast-paced

---

Unbelievable, unforgettable, unputdownable! So informative and weaves the lives of the people perfectly with the history of a remarkably bizarre and terrifying regime. It is astounding how all this is happening in the very near past. You can scarcely imagine these events are occurring in the past decade.
