<<Nothing to Envy>>
It is my first time to write an English review. When I decied to read English book, I asked for @TS 's help.And she recommend this book to me after I told her which kind of book I am interested in.I have to say ,the slow reading speed is imagined.The saying of "Good things never come easy" can comfort me.
"A remarkable view into North Korea, as seen through the lives of six ordinary citizens"
Nothing t o Envy grew out of that original series of articles from award-winning journalist Barbara Demick ,who talked to North Korea who had defected,escaping to South Korea and China.The believed that she could verify facts more easily if she spoke to numerous people about one place.In North Korea the contact with ordinary citizens was not permitted and the places the North government shows to foreign visitors has been well-manicured.So the country we learn from the photographs and television is not real North Korea. But this book can tell us some real facts.
to be continued!

I just read some news last week, or maybe two weeks ago. Those people escaping from North korea to Sorth korea had dead because of the difficulty to intergrate to the south korea society... what a tragedy.
