Media Reviews
Church creates an utterly convincing, internally consistent world of the absurd.... From the opening line ... it's clear that the reader is in the hands of an accomplished writer.... A thoroughly enjoyable ride, way down a rabbit hole to an upside-down world. -- The Boston Globe Nothing short of brilliant.... Highly recommended. -- Library Journal With wit and efficiency, Church masterfully evokes the challenges of enforcing the law in an authoritarian society and weds the intriguing atmosphere to a fast-moving and engaging plot. -- Publishers Weekly, Starred Review Stylish prose and incisive portrait of modern North Korea. -- Kirkus Reviews O's ... protective affection for his country is clear, as are his wry humor and moments of helpless humanity. -- Houston Chronicle
