um, what was that?

Revisado: 08-09-18

I have no idea what I just listened to. It jumped from one place to another in so many random ways. I didn't really relate to a lot of what she talked about. Easily listened at 1.25x speed and it sounded normal after I felt it was too slow when I started listening.

like a podcast

Revisado: 02-15-18

I wasn't sure what to expect here, I thought it was going to be like a book, but it's not at all. it's is 100% like a true crime Podcast. interesting though, I enjoyed it.

basically the same but still good

Revisado: 01-19-18

Enjoyed it as much as the original, despite that it wasn't that different because they are together almost the entire book. The narrator is excellent, but I was about to vomit if I heard him say "my sweet, sweet girl" one more time.

sweet, easy read

Revisado: 12-07-17

I enjoyed this book. It was a sweet, young love, easy to listen to. It is quite predictable, but the story still kept my attention the whole time. Definitely far from complex, but sometimes it's welcomed to listen to something that doesn't require much thought or undivided attention. Audible labeled it about 3/4 the way up the "steamy" scale, but on a scale of zero to 50 Shades of Grey, this is maybe halfway at most.

just alright

Revisado: 11-16-17

I don't want to discount any person's struggle to escape that horrible place, but this story was somewhat short and therefore lacked details. I would have liked a more in depth story. I'm a bit fascinated by stories of escape like this and have listened to a few from other former North Koreans. Some were better than this, some far worse.

Ending felt very rushed

Revisado: 11-15-17

I enjoyed this book and definitely did not expect that ending! But the last 10 chapters felt very rushed to me. I actually went back and listened to the last 10 chapters a second time because I felt like I missed something with how fast it was. Those last chapters seemed to lack detail like earlier in the book and just glossed over the story to get it done. In other words, I wanted more story!

Good enough to finish

Revisado: 10-27-17

This kept my attention throughout and enjoyed it. Not the best ever, but not a bad read either. the voice of Lindsey was fine, but I found the voice of Sophie to be very robotic sounding which bothered me.

Interesting enough to finish the whole book

Revisado: 06-26-17

Interesting enough to finish the whole book, but no gripping suspense for the most part like another escape from North Korea book I listened to. The narrator speaks painfully slow and lacked emotion which is probably why I felt the lacking suspense. I listened at 1.35x speed to make it sound normal. She is Korean and lives or has lived in England, so you get Korean-accented British English. Sounded strange at first, but I got used to it.

great narrator and storytelling

Revisado: 06-12-17

Very entertaining. The narrator is great with all the accents, the audio book is great for that over reading the paper version. The author is a great storyteller. I found out there are 3 more books from the series and can't wait to listen to them also.

just alright

Revisado: 06-10-16

The narrator ruined this book for me. He doesn't do any voices for the characters at all. Just reads it though like a book report or something. The sound editing is horrible. Many parts actually sound like a different man pops in to read 1 or 2 sentences where they have gone back to do some editing.

The story is written in the third person like a documentary. I finished Dear Leader: My Escape from North Korea before this one and enjoyed it much more. I probably would have enjoyed this one more with a better narrator.
