Customer Reviews
Too much Capitalism
Excellent read. The author shows his obvious preference for capitalism over communism throughout the book which is sadly distracting to the subject at hand. In a book about thoughts, feelings, and opinions of North Koreans you expect a bit of economic political nonsense but this book truly is trying to convince the reader that socialism is the devil.
Besides far too much focus on the economic system in place, the interviewees give an insightful look on the subject of North Korea.
I desperately wish the author had tried to make an objective assessment of the political situation or simply not have assessed and allowed the reader to decide.
