Well, as an agnostic this memoir was a bit of an eye roller for me, as the author attributed his entire experience, from captivity to release, as the will of God. I have to admit I even found myself at times agreeing with the skeptical North Koreans who pretty much thought he was delusional for believing in Not Forgotten: The True Story of My Imprisonment in North Korea unseen and unheard. The irony that the North Koreans are as brainwashed to believe in the leadership of the Kims as the author is brainwashed to believe in his God is not lost on m Well, as an agnostic this memoir was a bit of an eye roller for me, as the author attributed his entire experience, from captivity to release, as the will of God. The irony that the North Koreans are as brainwashed to believe in the leadership of the Kims as the author is brainwashed to believe in his God is not lost on me. I also have to admit that his being detained has merit in the eyes of a North Korean. North Koreans are taught to believe in their gods, the Kims. Here comes this guy, crossing into their country to spread the word of his god. When you travel to another country, the consequences of not following their laws include arrest and imprisonment. Not Forgotten: The True Story of My Imprisonment in North Korea did not follow North Korean laws - in fact he blatantly disobeyed them - and the result was his captivity. Irrespective of the major God element in this memoir, I enjoyed the read and found it interesting. He's a nice man who believes in the work he does and in his God, and his belief in God did sustain him throughout his captivity whereas a person like me might lose hope quickly. That said, I still felt sorry for him, not only for his confinement but also for his inability to see the similarity between his blind faith in his God and the North Koreans in their leaders. Without that acknowledgement, I'm not sure their work will ever achieve its goal. View 1 comment. There were times I was bored or just beyond unmotivated to keep reading, so overall, not my favorite read. Nov 30, PingPing rated it it was amazing. An very honest account of what Kenneth had endured including his struggle, his hope, his heart for the people of North Korea. Gripping yet can feel his sense of calmness and his strong faith, his low point in his faith and how he regained his faith when different events unfolded. I couldn't imagine how he could have endured all those hard labour and emotional sufferings from the people he tried to help so much. Captive in Iran was more gripping but these two books are very similar in the sense t An very honest account of what Kenneth had endured including his struggle, his hope, his heart for the people of North Korea. Captive in Iran was more gripping but these two books are very similar in the sense that both the authors persevered, had found new strength by truly surrendering their will to God, His will and not our will which takes so much faith and trust. Another cannot put down book which we can gain insight into how missionary persevere amidst all the sufferings in such a harsh environment. This book is as fascinating as it is harrowing. Bae's journey as a North Korean was definitely a struggle, but if you are as morbidly curious about the goings-on of the modern day DPRK as I am, the silver lining to this whole experience is that it does provide real insight to the mindset of North Korean citizens and their way of life. At times, his writings about God can be a bit preachy and boring he is a minister after allbut it adds an important dimension to his perspective. Throughou This book is as fascinating as it is harrowing. Throughout the work it becomes clear that his faith is what helped him through even the darkest times, and the resolve it gave him can even appeal to non-religious readers. Since you believe in a different god, you came to pray against us and against our Great Leader. Memoirs are always difficult to review, and Kenneth Bae's harrowing memoir is no difficult. Convicted of some of the highest crimes against the North Korean state, he violated Article 60 of the Constitution, which could have meant a death sentence. Instead, sentenced to 15 years in a labor camp, he eventually makes it out after only two. And all of this because he hoped to spread Christianity, albeit s Since you believe in a different god, you came to pray against us and against our Not Forgotten: The True Story of My Imprisonment in North Korea Leader.
