I'm not really a fan of Wil Wheaton, but I am a fan of John Scalzi, Little Fuzzy, and H. Beam Piper. If you're not a fan of at least one of those things, give this one a pass. If you are, you've probably read this book already.

The plot and writing of this book were OK, and the audio edition was decently read. Unfortunately, I hated the main character so deeply it's utterly beyond description. I have never wanted to slap a protagonist so hard in my life! Maybe she gets less terrible in later books in the series, but I'm not willing to purchase book two in order to find out. I got the first book on sale, and I'm rather glad.

This isn't normally the kind of thing I'd bother reading. But the fact that it's read by the author makes it totally worth it! Yes, she does as good a job as you would expect.

This wasn't the book I expected to get when I started it. Fortunately, I did enjoy what it turned out to be.

This is the most depressing thing I have read in a while. But if you're at all interested in North Korea, this is quite a good book. The audio edition is worth it, mostly to hear the names pronounced correctly.
