I've read this book twice and listened to the audio book twice. If you're stuck in the beginning, just keep reading. Keep reading! This is such a powerful and shocking book that was inspired by true stories of defectors from North Korea. I love the half-way mark between part one and part two. I love the back and forth of the propaganda and the storyteller's view. The inspirational characters such as the girl rower, Commander Buc, and and, of course, Sun Moon are amazing. The various plot settings: on the ship, in Japan, in Texas, in the prison camp, the Ingrid Bergman Hollywood pavement star, all buffet and shape the main character. The creepy guy and, of course, the Dear Leader raise the hairs on your arms.
