I’ve finished the book, and you can read my completed review here. To say that I liked the book would be an understatement.

When I was referring to all decent people, I did not mean just Christians. I was referring t all good people regardless of their faith. In other words, I was not intending to be sectarian.
I cannot believe this book!! I have probabaly read every book in English published on North Korea and the way that this follows a story of some citizens while the economy collapses is one of the most brillant books I have ever read, brilliant!!!
