Dear Reader

The Unauthorized Autobiography of Kim Jong Il

By: Michael Malice

Narrated by: Marcus Freeman

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

With nothing left uncovered, drawing straight from dozens of books, hundreds of articles, and thousands of years of Korean history, Dear Reader is both the definitive account of Kim Jong Il's life and the complete stranger-than-fiction history of the world's most unique country.

Horrifying

Narration was perfect. The changing tone of the book perfectly captured. Michael Malice captures the personality cult of the North Korean regime and then gradually brings you into the real life horror film that is life in the DPRK.

The real North Korea

I great story compiled for North Korean History. Malice does an incredible job making this book feel like Kim Jong Il is telling you his personal story.

A great look into the DPRK

I learned so much about North Korea from this book. The perspective is especially helpful.

Fascinating

As a trucker I've got the "luxury" of allot of Windshield time... I've usually got several audio books, podcasts, YouTube downloads going, I'll get tired of one then jump to another... (I'm allot ADD that way) but this book keeps me engaged right to the end. Maniacally entertaining. I listened to it all in two shifts!

It's strange what you call learn about human nature from "the crazy like a Fox" mind of a hereditary dictator. Especially of who doesn't see himself as one. One who sees himself unapologetically as a nearly Christ like figure in his "perfection".

Many of his criticisms of the west are startlingly accurate unfortunately. He really points or the hypocrisies of western govts.

But his assessments of the "people's paradise" he and his God like father (in his eyes)
built in the DPRK are even more astoundingly, startlingly, psychotically divorced from reality... some serious rose colored VR goggles on this guy.

...that is until the end when the mask and goggles come off.

last paragraph is chilling, but dont skip ahead

read the entire book, laugh along the way, but be prepared for a hard dosr of reality
