Lynn Herron (United Kingdom) (2011/09/25):
Compulsive reading and a remarkable insight into a bizarre regime based on the cult of 'Our Dear Leader' and a society cut off from the rest of the world. My own criticism is that the author is a journalist and while this makes her descriptions very vivid she also has the journalistic habit (similar to that employed in so many factual TV programmes) of chopping to and fro. Telling a bit of one person's story, then embarking on another and then another and chopping back and forward between accounts. It didn't spoil the book for me but I'd have preferred a more orderly approach!
