Re: Nothing To Envy: Real Lives In North Korea

[(Anonymous)]

From reading the preview on Amazon, I can tell you that the writing has an excellent flow and stunning imagery that makes it hard to put down. It seems to be a pretty unique book, the author spoke in depth to six defectors from North Korea. That's not an experience you often get to hear about; most of what I've read about North Korea involves going into the country and kind of examining it, and only being able to talk to people who aren't really allowed to speak honestly.

So it's the novelty of hearing the truth from North Koreans? (that probably sounds so snarky and sarcastic but I really don't mean it that way. I would reword it if I could think of a way to do it. It is a very genuine though poorly worded question)

Hmm, I wouldn't say novelty. It's just more personal than say, something focused more on politics or history. I read a little bit more and the beginning is about a woman who had to leave her boyfriend behind when she defected. But then it shifts to the boyfriend's POV which I don't really like, but I'm assuming it's factually correct based on what the woman told the author. I stopped reading because there are pages missing from the preview and that made it hard to follow.

If you don't like creative nonfiction and/or you're not interested in this topic, you probably won't be interested in it.

Thanks! I'm going to add it to my library list because I'm still a bit uncertain about it but I am definitely interested now.
