Story5 out of 5 stars 36
In the early 2000s, Adrian Hong was a soft-spoken Yale undergraduate looking for his place in the world. After reading a harrowing account of life inside North Korea, he realized he had found a cause so pressing that he was ready to devote his life to it. Hong journeyed to China, outwitting Chinese security services as he helped ferry asylum-seeking North Korean escapees to safety. The Rebel and the Kingdom is an exhilarating account of a man who turns his back on the status quo—to instead live boldly by his principles.

I’ve listened to 100+ audiobooks this year, and this is my favorite. I’m actually listening to it for the second time now. :) I was aware of the general story of Adrian Hong from news articles but to hear all the details and learn how everything unfolded was eye opening and kind of insane. Hope they turn this into a movie. After reading Billion Dollar Whale, and then this book, I’m officially a Bradley Hope super fan and can’t wait to see what he covers in his next book.
