A River in Darkness: One Man's Escape from North Korea

i don't want to call this amazing or excellent because i feel like i'd be calling masaji's life that as this is a memoir after all and his life has been full of nothing but sadness and starvation... this was very well written, and masaji paints a very, very vivid and horrendous picture of north korea. i really hope that north korea will be free of the government one day. nobody should be that restricted by their government. but i have to say that i find it selfish of masaji to have had 3 children.
