A review by susanw
The Orphan Master's Son by Adam Johnson

3.0

I did sort of like this book, the first half I found very slow and continued reading only due to the very good buzz I had heard. The second half made up for any doubt. It was much more engaging and it's story kept me reading. But I really couldn't tell what was true and what the author invented with regards to North Korea. While I can't say I enjoyed the book, as the topic was far from enjoyable, I am glad I read it. Is it really a 4 star, no probably a 3.5 Would I recommend it? Guardedly.
