3.0 out of 5 stars Eye opener., 10 Feb 2007
By mr Average (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rogue Regime: Kim Jong Il and the Looming Threat of North Korea (Paperback)
This is the first political book i have read for a while,but after everything about the goings on there involving nuclear tests,and hearing their leader(Kim Jong Il) described as a mad-man by journalists, curiosity got the better of me and i thought i would buy,and read Jasper Becker's book to find out more.
The book is very interesting 70% of the time but you have to turn your concentration levels up to eleven for the remaining 30%,especially the history harking back to Kim Il Sung in the 1940's.I wanted to know more about whats happening now, and when Jasper Becker did go into detail about the extravagance and greed,and criminal international dealings,and how unfairly Kim Jong Il treats his people;the book had my full attention.So on that merit i can say it is very well written.So if you think you have got it bad at work,or life in general, just think about what those poor people in North Korea have to go though and,well things don't seem so bad after all.By the way if you were to write something like this in N:Korea there would be hell to pay.

2.0 out of 5 stars over reacting on hear say stories, 14 July 2005
Although Jasper Beckers is a great narrator, his book did disappoint me a lot. His whole story is based on hear-say without having been in the DPRK in something like 20 years. His book contains dozens of terrible stories of refugees or people who said to be refugee. Most stories will bring you to a sort of 21st century concentration camp of which their is no escape. (Although all his 'first hand eye witnesses' managed to escape one or more times.)

Reading his book is like seeing a horror movie. Everything is so devastating horrible that one is really waiting for any sort of proof of all the terror being true.... But their he fails. Jasper Beckers only argument is that he heard so many bad stories about the country that it can not be untrue. He simply states that he spoke to many people who all were negative about the DPRK to ignore them.

So if you want a well written page turner BUY THIS BOOK. If you want to have a decent book on the DPRK just look further.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Book for Bush, 12 Nov 2008
By Mr. S. Rawlinson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
North-Korea bashing and scare-mongering. A good book for George W. Bush to read in order to justify his numerous warped decisions.

4.0 out of 5 stars I wanted to give this 3.5....
I have just finsihed this book and I must say that I really found it interesting. As an introduction to DPRNK history, culture, politics and economics it is pretty rudimentary,... Read more
