Best damn guilt trip I’ve ever taken….

January 10, 2014 by Lemondrop 3 Comments

Wow. I’ve been sitting here considering just copy-pasting “wow” two hundred and forty-nine times. I’d give this book six stars if I could. I think North Korea holds a fascination for many of us in the west. Certainly it does for me.
