Hm, I'm always interested to read first-hand accounts of life in North Korea, and there are definitely some fascinating and sometimes funny observations in here. Sometimes Guy as a narrator seems like a real dick, like he just can't believe the stuff that citizens of an oppressive regime don't know/aren't willing to say to him, and it wasn't totally clear to me if he was aware as he was writing this that he was being kind of a dick about it? Like am I supposed to read this as kind of a confessional or am I also supposed to be shocked?
The black and white sketchy art worked well for a travelogue of a totalitarian regime, and made this a pretty quick read. There are some interesting anecdotes for sure.
