Review:Early on, I could not understand why a seasoned traveler to N. Korea would make such a stupid mistake, and create a national crisis. He cost the US thousands of dollars and possibly created an international crisis. All because he did something stupid. He knew better, and despite his fortitude and unending faith to sustain him, he brought it upon himself. He put his religion ahead of his family, and interestingly, he only gave his wife, Lidya, passing acknowledgement at the end of the book. ... Read more

Review:I would recommend this book for everyone to read. I could not put it down and read it in 2 days. It's hard to believe what Ms. Park and her family went through. The concept of trying to escape North Korea because of immense hardships and no food is too much at times when reading. She is a area! Inspiration and this book let's us know what is really going on over there. Read more

It was a big hit for all 3 of my boys, and they learned about wells, irrigation, famine and perseverance, and how people might not share your vision when you have a new idea. A very inspiring true story for any aged reader. Read more

Review:Susan Orlean obviously did a lot of research, which is spewed back at the reader. Sadly, the book is a confused cross between local history and cultural analysis. Reads like an extended version of a lesser New Yorker piece. That said,I did learn how to transport orchids after primary bloom. Read more

Review:I was prepared to like Mr. Astin - the character of Sam is one of my literary favorites. My daughter, who collects all things LOTR, asked for this book for Christmas, however, knowing that Hollywood types like to lace every thought, written and spoken, with profanity, I checked this book out of the library for a look-see. I was familiar with Mr. Astin, of course. I thought his voice-overs on the extended trilogies were rather verbose, pretentious and self-absorbed (Shut up, Sean! No one cares ... Read more
