The text reads: 

“First Pals: What makes Dad so cool? He’s the swim coach, tent maker, best friend, bike fixer and hug giver—all rolled into one. Or two.” The text at the bottom reads: “Real-life dads, Todd Koch and Cooper Smith with their children Claire and Mason.”

Mi-ran assumed that nowhere else in the world were people better off, and that most probably fared far worse. She heard many, many times on the radio and television that South Koreans were miserable under the thumb of the pro-American puppet leader Park Chung-hee and, later, his successor, Chun Doohwan. They learned that China’s diluted brand of communism was less successful than that brought by Kim Il-sung and that millions of Chinese were going hungry. All in all, Mi-ran felt she was quite lucky to have been born in North Korea under the loving care of the fatherly leader.

Nothing to Envy follows the lives of six North Korean defectors from their childhoods to their escapes.  Through these stories readers learn what it was like to grown up in totalitarian North Korea, how the 1990s famine impacted the lives of ordinary North Koreans, and what it takes to escape.  

North Korea is a single party state with very limited interaction with the rest of the world and one of the most militarized countries in the world.  Nothing to Envy is worth reading for its look at a practically hidden population and an important political region.  It is also worth reading if you’re a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction because sometimes fact is stranger than fiction.

This sounds incredibly interesting. I have a strange fascination with North Korea.

Damn I never read anything but I kinda want to read this. I know basically nothing about North Korea but I’ve always wondered about it.
