Anyone read this book? Opinions?

I finished it yesterday..compelling read, but I wonder about the accuracy of it. The author was very young when he fled (only 12 in Western years), and the book contains a lot of conjecture not directly related to the author's personal experiences. Still, a good read.

The co-author is the same guy who co-authored "Aquariums of Pyeongyang", Pierre Rigoulot. I'm interested in learning more about him, as well.

Both books have been very interesting reads. There's also a book called "Eyes of a tailless animal" - but after reading so many books about North Korea - everything is generally the same story portrayed by a different person. ~~~~~Korea reunificiation~~~~
