A must listen or read for everyone!


(5 stars)

first off, I have to say the reader of this book is excellent. I think everyone needs to listen to this, especially in today’s world where words and history are being changed while we are not paying attention. This may give some people a glimpse into how diabolical things can become over a period of time when we aren’t paying attention.

Fantastic reading

Terrifying account of what can happen when a socialist ideology takes over a country. A must read and probably will be shockingly real to North Koreans.

A wonderful reading. 'Enjoy' isn't quite the right word, because I had forgotten how horrific the story is. The reader's voice is perfect for this story. Well done!

Wow

Reader was excellent. And since I am from Pakistan which is going through unprecedented authoratian and fascist regime, this book hits hard.
