This is the first book I have listened to by D B John. I found it to be so interesting, especially concerning the lives of people in North Korea. The story was compulsive and nail biting and kept me listening, almost without a break. Great narrator too. Will be looking for more by this author.

Excellent

This excellent book was let down by the awful pronunciation of the narrator. Especially difficult were French words such as Cognac.

The most grating were sentences like “... was buoyed up by …” pronounced as “boo-ee”. The author of the book is British and a more British sounding reader or an East Coast reader would have been far preferable.

Grating accent

Gripping story from start to finish. Alas the narrator's inflections became irritating. Buy the book.

Gripping story, narration not so much.

Rarely has a book affected me as much as this one has. It provides an insight into life and politics in the hidden world of North Korea in a gripping and dynamic way. The reading was excellent and added so much to the immersive experience. An incredible book which should be part of every students essential reading. I couldn't stop listening.
