A most enjoyable book! I totally got caught up in their journey and Woody’s story. Love books based on true facts. An incredible story! Recommend to everyone!

Unfortunately I did not find this book anything special. Keep in mind I am not always a big fan of fluff romantic fiction books which this definitely was. Plot was very contrived, characters very minimally developed and ending was known from page one. Saying that I did …more think it was a cute book, easy reading and light-hearted. The protagonist was weak too. It felt like the author had read many romance novels and had the formula down pat. Again could my views have been a bit skewed as I need more meat to my books?? (less)

All Woman and Springtime caught me in the first 10 pages. After that it's hard to put down. What a wonderful new writer. As I read this book I became totally absorbed in the mind-numbing journey of Gi and her friends. North Korea is not a place written about very often so I …more felt as if I myself had stepped behind the curtain of North Korea. And even knowing that the events in the book really do happen I felt it all as if I was one of the girls. Brandon Jones manages to capture their emotions brilliantly so that I felt devastated when they were and buoyant when they were. And as every page was read I started reaching towards the end and praying that the end would be what I wanted it to be. Thank you Mr. Jones for bringing this world to me and opening my eyes to it.
