A lot of the factories there have been shut down during the famine so the pollution isn't what it was. It describes an (almost) romanticised depiction of walking around at night in pitch dark in areas that used to be bustling and developed. Such a strange mental image.\r\n\r\n  \r\nHighly recommend this book if you're curious about everyday life in North Korea.","subreddit_name":"pics","author":"pompeychimes"},{"body":"A docu-drama based around [Nothing to Envy](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nothing-Envy-Lives-North-Korea/dp/184708141X), a fantastic and devestating book by Barbara Demick about six seperate people who esacpe from North Korea.\r\n\r\nIt would have to have the HBO treatment and cannot shy away from the violence, torture and emotional gravity of the situation - whilst at the same time not glorifying it.\r\n\r\nThere are six(?) escapees who are documented in the book, so a 6 - 8 episode, self contained series would be incredible ","subreddit_name":"television","author":"sassy-andy"},{"body":"Have you ever read [Nothing to Envy](http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nothing-Envy-Lives-North-Korea/dp/184708141X/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1360006270\u0026amp;sr=8-2)?

I know all about the sea org, its nothing like living in NK and to suggest otherwise is an  insult to north korean suffering.\r\n\r\nFor one thing, they can leave anytime they want. if they wanted to badly enough. For another, no one in sea org is eating bark to survive.\r\n\r\nplease read this book to get first hand accounts of how it was during the famine in NK\r\n\r\nhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/Nothing-Envy-Lives-North-Korea/dp/184708141X\r\n\r\nIts heartbreaking. Especially the classrooms of young kids getting smaller and smaller in number as more of them die from malnutrition and the teacher being too hungry to give them any of her meagre amounts of food and feeling guilty for the rest of her life.","subreddit_name":"WTF","author":"3danimator"},{"body":"[Hullo.](https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2notp3/iama_north_korean_defector_who_went_from_being_on/cmg4pby)\r\n\r\n[And amazon](http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nothing-Envy-Lives-North-Korea/dp/184708141X)\r\n\r\n[Oh and another person, think this is the one you mean.](http://www.independent.co.uk/news/north-korean-defector-says-she-believed-kim-jongil-was-a-god-who-could-read-her-mind-9251983.html)","subreddit_name":"worldnews","author":"JackCoull"},{"body":"Standard za izolovane zemlje sa kompleksom lidera, ima dobra knjiga na temu bratske nam zemlje\r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Nothing-Envy-Lives-North-Korea/dp/184708141X","subreddit_name":"serbia","author":"Kermez"},{"body":"Wow, he shot the cover of [Nothing to Envy](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nothing-Envy-Lives-North-Korea/dp/184708141X), an excellent book.","subreddit_name":"pics","author":"InventedBeards"},{"body":"You can buy Nothing to Envy here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nothing-Envy-Lives-North-Korea/dp/184708141X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1376391740\u0026amp;sr=8-1\u0026amp;keywords=nothing+to+envy\r\n\r\nOne of the best NK books i've read.","subreddit_name":"IAmA","author":"Bennykelly"},{"body":"After watching the VBS documentary I read [this](http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nothing-Envy-Lives-North-Korea/dp/184708141X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1296242571\u0026amp;sr=8-1), it was quite interesting.","subreddit_name":"pics","author":"grimeandpunishment"}]}
