I felt rather queasy after I finished this book. It's very short, but the descriptions of human cruelty was infuriating and nauseating all at once. I don't understand how such evil can exist in the world, and it is a blessing that many of us never will experience it.
I've seen some people contesting whether what the author has said is true or not. If even a tenth of what he said occurred is true, it is enough reason to condemn what has happened and continues to happen today.
As I was reading this book, all I think about is the writer's surviving family. I wonder if this book reached North Korean shores and if the writer's family would be allowed to live after that.
