Every Falling Star

the True Story of How I Survived and Escaped North Korea
Oct 06, 2016miaone rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
I've read several excellent books by young women who escaped from North Korea to South Korea and I found their personal stories fascinating and well worth reading. The women authors mentioned gangs of young men who were dangerous and violent and threatened people in the farmers' markets in N. Korea. This is the first account I've read by a young man who was in one of those gangs. I encourage you to read this one, but not only this one. Check out, also, the biographies of, e.g., Yeonmi Park or Hyeonseo Lee for books that fill in the experiences of women escapees from N. Korea through China and other routes. Quite topical.
