About this listen
No country is as misunderstood as North Korea, and no modern tyrant has remained more mysterious than the Dear Leader, Kim Jong Il. Now, celebrity ghostwriter Michael Malice pulls back the curtain to expose the life story of the "Incarnation of Love and Morality". Taken directly from books spirited out of Pyongyang, Dear Reader is a carefully reconstructed first-person account of the man behind the mythology.
From his miraculous rainbow-filled birth during the fiery conflict of World War II, Kim Jong Il watched as his beloved Korea finally earned its freedom from the cursed Japanese. Mere years later, the wicked US imperialists took their chance at conquering the liberated nation - with devastating results. But that's only the beginning of the Dear Leader's story.
In Dear Reader, Kim Jong Il explains:
- How he can shrink time
- Why he despises the Mona Lisa
- How he recreated the arts in Korea
- Why the Juche idea is the greatest concept ever discovered by man
- How he handled the crippling famine
- Why Kim Jong Un was chosen as successor over his elder brothers

Amazingly entertaining, and chilling
There are many parts which make you almost sympathetic to Kim Jong Il, but that is all sorted by the last chapter as you are reminded of the brutal reality of the DKRP

Great presentation of a hard-to-swallow topic
The content is presented as obvious propaganda. This forces you to think about the topics from a strange point of view and look up all dates and events referenced, resulting in shocking discoveries. Great writing and voice acting. That ending though :'(

Guilty Entertainment
The missing link to my year 9 History classes. Who said history had to be boring and true? Actually it may have been the Great Leader.....

A humorous, dark look into North Korea
Michael Malice read over 60 books, even more articles, and traveled to North Korea himself in the research for this book. It shows in the wealth of history contained within it, which is presented satirically from the first person perspective of Kim Jong Il.
Worth reading if you are interested in DPRK history and its dictators.
