Book Review of The Orphan Master's Son

The Orphan Master's Son
reviewed on + 19 more book reviews


Brilliantly written novel depicting life in the totalitarian state of North Korea. It was grim reading, but the adventures and transformations of the main character, raised in an orphanage among children who were considered throw-aways in a system that places little value on any human life--well that made me want to turn the pages.
