Another horrific tale of life in the prison that is all of North Korea - this one told about life within a prison itself. Perhaps because this is the latest in a list of books about All Things North Korean that I've been reading in the last couple of years, I was not as horrified by this story as I was by some of the others I've previous read. Both "Nothing to Envy" and "In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom" affected me far more deeply, and I would recommend both of those books over this one. There was an emotional distance in Kang's writing that kept my horror a bit more at bay. Still - I believe any and all books written by or about North Koreans who have managed to escape from that hideous place are worth reading.
