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

Review for Dear Reader
Dear Reader is an 'enlightening' journey into the mind of North Korea's late-"beloved" leader. Michael Malice's depiction of Kim Jong-il provoked both incredulous laughter and a sense of menace.

absolutely worth the time
amazing insight into the creation of North Korea, and the propaganda the people are subjected to. all wrapped up in a somewhat comical yet bleak and concise story. voice actor was the perfect choice too.

Every liberal snowflake should have to read this
This is a great book. It's a horrifying look into the mind of a murderous megalomaniac whose ideals, imparted to his son, are still seeing an entire population live under wartime like poverty conditions. We laugh at DPRK but we shouldn't. Its a cautionary tale for anyone who likes freedom from oppression and government control. The parallels one can draw between the reality of DPRK and today's north America are frightening.

Entertaining and Informative
This book helped me learn a lot about a vital piece of world history that I had been overlooking. For decades I was very resistant to learning about Korea because I just didn't seem to care. As I get older, these things interest me more and the history of that region is quite interesting. It also helped me question some of my own beliefs about the part of the world I come from.

Entertaining and informative
The performance by our dearest reader of Dear Reader is excellent. His ordered stylized speech really helps in bringing you along the journey through the history of the founding to near present day North Korea.

Will Dear Leader ride all of the rides?
Shocking, funny, sad and touching. Michael Malice has done the world a service shining light on a part of the world none of us will ever see. Highly recommended.
