The book gives you perspective on how the ordinary person in North Korea lives, like any usual person that have their own hopes & dreams, just like us. One part I found interesting is how the famine in the 1990s directly affected their citizens, no matter the class or status (excluding the highest class of course).

It’s a classic book but I don’t really think it suits me with the writing style. But I could see how it’s a good book and it’s relevant to this day (especially in recent years).

To be honest I don’t really remembered much of the plot since I read it last year’s July. But I will say it is a good read but not as captivating or heartbreaking as the next book (Sunrise on the Reaping).

I don’t plan on reading the original Hunger Games since knowing the plot and it’s been quite many years since its release. I figured that reading this book would emulate how it would feel like reading the original Hunger Games for the first time.

Very captivating and just heartbreaking. 5 stars. Imma go drink some milk now.

I remembered going into the book not sure what to expect, is it another The Martian book? Well I would say during the mid-way of the book I would definitely say it’s quite different in the sense of the story itself. The survival is still as captivating as The Martian, as well as its humour and wholesomeness.
