Pyoungyang: A Journey in North Korea

Pyoungyang: A Journey in North Korea
By Guy Delisle
ISBN(HC): 978-0896597898

An interesting look at something we don't get to see much of, and an interesting look at how North Korea treats its visitors, as well as some glimpses into their view of the world.

To Sum: Guy Delisle is a contract animator, who takes an assignment in North Korea for two months, and this is his account.

What to watch out for: Not to much, all things considered. Drinking, smoking, some adult situations (parties/hitting on opposite gender, but more the just dealing with being in such a oppressive place when you aren't from there.)

Where to Shelve: There's not much in it that would offend the younger generation, however, the idea of living in another country for two months? Strikes me as more of an adult thing to read. Not saying older teens couldn't handle it, but I think the adults are the ones that would be more likely to pick it up.
