Many in these reviews seem to have the expectation that she woulddeliver a story and narrative from the standpoint of a free world, mostly American culture. Her book triumphs in being able to take us through the looking glass to the mindset, near as she can, of their culture. It is no wonder , as a few have said "she didnt seem to get to know the boys"; or - "there is no individual personality coming out in the students" - Hey, part of the message is, they don't know themselves, and they had little if any opportunity to develop their own "individuality". NK is a puzzle, with many layers, and the author experienced one layerwithin the midst of a culture that reviews true throughout all the books I have read. I find her references to her "life back home" a necessary counterpoint to the sucking vampire like energy she had to endure in such a repressive place for weeks on end. This is no real reflection on her personally, it is just how it is there, and how it must feel to adjust to that mind blowingly different reality. I would recommend this book to those interested in deepening their understanding of North Korea, while also recommending other books to round out the picture and validate her observations to a deeper level of reader understanding.10 of 10 people found the following review helpful.Very Interesting Memoir of the Author's Few Months at a North Korean CollegeBy caseyThis book gives a fascinating bit of insight, although the view is very narrow, into the lives of People in North Korea. I acknowledge the criticisms given in the review from "laughingbull," -- the beginning of the book is very autobiographical, she doesn't explain why they're learning English, and her perspective is limited. These are correct, but since this book is up-front about essentially being the author's memoir of her time in North Korea, this should be expected. To address each of those points:1) Autobiographical - It's a memoir, so references to her background are not only expected, but helpful in explaining her interactions. Her Korean-American background is something that made her more accessible to her students. I do agree, though, that the frequent references to her "lover" got a bit tedious and unnecessary.2) Doesn't answer questions - First, I think one point of the whole book is that neither the author, her North Korean students, nor the other teachers are given explanations for the regime's or the school's actions. For the most part, I think Kim does a good job of providing her observations with some background to help lead the reader to form their own ideas of why the regime does certain things. "Laughingbull" also mentioned that she did not explain the regime's hypocrisy in simultaneously condemning all things American while teaching its most elite students English. Again, a continuing theme throughout the book is that the regime often contradicts itself - I did not feel this point needed to be explained. They have a practical need for their elite to learn English -- knowing your enemy -- that I think is something that they can easily explain in their propaganda. It makes perfect sense that they would like their scientists to understand English. I'm sure the recent Sony hackers had a pretty good working knowledge of English....3) Narrow view - Again, no kidding. This is a memoir, not a research book. The author is very up-front about the fact that she gained a very limited, but rare, exposure. However, a major difference in the perspective that she describes in this book, compared to other books about life in NK, is the type of people that she was exposed to. Other books I've read are mostly accounts of defectors, who were generally from more impoverished backgrounds. Kim's students give a insight to the lives of the "privileged" class.Bottom line though: very interesting and well-written, I had a hard time putting the book down once I got started.I also recommend the book "Nothing to Envy" for an account of the lives of "ordinary" North Korean citizens.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful.The Ever Present LeaderBy Anne PhillipsSuki Kim spent a year at the outskirts of Pyongyang, North Korea teaching English to "privileged young men aged nineteen and twenty" and this is the "reported memoir based on journals and notes" of that time as well as several visits to the DPRK (Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea). There is a lengthy introduction giving us necessary background about Suki's family, her aunts and uncle abducted into North Korea, the life of Koreans in the South and her upbringing in America. Then we have to jump to the school establishment in Pyongyang run by missionaries and the recruitment of Susi, a known journalist with previous journalistic experience. This bit about the Pyongyang University of Science and Technology (PUST) remains suspect throughout the story, but it is a fascinating book. Suki's introduction begins with a lengthy shopping list of all the things she should procure for her stay in North Korea - ibuprofen, sanitary napkins, vitamins, "plus as many protein bars as I could jam in my suitcases." Detailed reminders of what to do and what to bring and what to pay. The description of her initial impression of North Korea "deafening silence" - there are none of the familiar noises of a Western city, yet permanent blasting of music from loudspeakers. The male students are obviously selected based on some unknown scheme and are working extremely hard to meet prescribed quotas and thresholds, There is an ever changing collective or group learning. There are mandatory outings. But most fascinating is the inevitable lapse of the teacher/missionaries into the thinking of the Korean collective - the worship of the Great Leader, Kim Il-sung. The book ends with Suki's leaving the school when the students are plunged into mourning at the death of Kim Il-sung. Suddenly, there is a chasm between the North Korean students and the teacher.See all 612 customer reviews... Mislabeled As A Memoirist Author Asks: Whose Work Gets To ...
