Gripping story, narration not so much.
Gripping story from start to finish. Alas the narrator's inflections became irritating. Buy the book.

A good story spoilt by poor narration
A good story but the intonation of the narrator was very distracting and irritating and some of the power of the writing was lost.

Intriguing insight into North Korea
This book was recommended by an assistant in the local book store. She mentioned that the author had visited N Korea so I gave it a try. Wow- what a great listen, very well narrated and a brilliant story. The characters and plot are very well thought out and dovetail perfectly with the political, cultural and social climate in North Korea over the past few decades. I was horrified to learn how the Kim dynasty imposed its rule on the country and its inhabitants and all credit to the author for his research and portrayal of this tyrannical regime. High recommended , entertaining as well as eye opening.

Terrific story. Annoying narration
The story is gripping. Listened to it a second time. The narrator became very annoying as she seemed unable to pronounce any word that had a double letter R in the middle e.g. Corridor, horror, mirror. Other than that I could not stop, listening to this book.

What lies behind that iron curtain.
Fantastic thriller offering a glimpse behind the iron curtain of North Korea. We see it from the side of the CIA, a poor market seller, and an up and coming member of the Kim government. There are moments you will be in the edge of your seat, and even when you are not, this is really intriguing.
