My Holiday in North Korea

My Holiday in North Korea: The Funniest/Worst Place on Earth by Wendy E. Simmons

Summary: Most people want out of North Korea. Wendy Simmons wanted in.

In My Holiday in North Korea: The Funniest/Worst Place on Earth, Wendy shares a glimpse of North Korea as it’s never been seen before. Even though it’s the scariest place on Earth, somehow Wendy forgot to check her sense of humor at the border.

But Wendy’s initial amusement and bewilderment soon turned to frustration and growing paranoia. Before long, she learned the essential conundrum of “tourism” in North Korea: Travel is truly a love affair. But, just like love, it’s a two-way street. And North Korea deprives you of all this. They want you to fall in love with the singular vision of the country they’re willing to show you and nothing more.

Through poignant, laugh-out-loud essays and 92 never-before-published color photographs of North Korea, Wendy chronicles one of the strangest vacations ever. Along the way, she bares all while undergoing an inner journey as convoluted as the country itself.

Angie’s comments: It was an interesting look at North Korea from the perspective of a Western tourist. The author is very honest about her emotions and thoughts during her trip. I still have reservations about how her book might affect the lives of her handlers.


Recommended for readers interested in a look into North Korea.
