    Captivating and well-researched, this book informs and entertains
  

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United States on 2 November 2016*

Paul Fischer's A Kim Jong Il Production presents the rudimentary story of tragic life in the DPRK, however this volume's subjects are two clever kidnapping victims who go on to be creative survivors of the cruel fates orchestrated by Kim Jong-Il.  The manner in which Fischer incorporates strategic interviews, facts, historical research, and a touching creative nonfiction narrative creates a vibrant and dynamic voice that makes this book an effective combination of multiple genres encapsulated into one book.The book is a nonfiction narrative that covers both Kim Jong-Il's rise to power and the kidnapping and employment of Choi Eun-Hee and Shin Sang-Ok from South Korea to kickstart the DPRK's new film industry. Through a variety of cloak and dagger operations, the two were able to undermine the authority of Kim and use their influence over the Dear Leader, the country, and various diplomatic and professional connections to their advantage in escaping the brutal kingdom. But the manner in which Fischer combines testimony, narrative, and facts is masterfully woven throughout each paragraph of the book.In A Kim Jong-Il Production, Fisher tells a captivating story using a variety of methods that combine research, testimony, and creative nonfiction storytelling. The manner in which his inline references to interviews, historical data, and his own trips to North Korea are interwoven with a creative narrative create a voice that is both authoritative and engaging to the audience. This innovative approach to storytelling melds a traditional narrative methodology with fact in an engaging manner, and that in turn bridges the popular with the academic and widens the potential market for the text as well as the awareness of the readers who pick it up.

    História impressionante!
  
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in Brazil on 5 July 2016*

A realidade supera a ficção nessa história impressionante do casal coreano sequestrado por Kim Jong-Il para fazer filmes na Coreia do Norte. Muito bom para aprender sobre a historia das Coreias, da Guerra Fria e do cinema oriental. Um dos melhores livros que ja li na vida!

    A Masterpiece!
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in Canada on 19 November 2015*

Sensitively written. Penetrating psychological insights into the plight of two gifted South Korean artists kidnapped by Kim Jong-Il who uses them, and everyone else, as puppets in the epic he is trying to create on his personal stage -- which just happens to be his own country.
