Brother One Cell: An American Coming of Age in South Korea's Prisons Audiobook

" Not terribly written but not terribly compelling either.. I flipped through it and not enough happens to justify spending more time on it. "

" Thrown in Korean prison at 23 for smuggling hashish into the country, Cullen Thomas shares his experiences. This book was an interesting and detailed account of an American man's 3.5 years in a Korean prison. Well written. "

" Ok, people, it's not a good idea to sell drugs in South Korea, and think you can get away with it. Cullen Thomas, who was in Korea to teach English tries as a way to supplement his income, and ends up in prison. His story is very compelling. "

" A young man imprisoned in a South Korean jail for like three years. What a drag, but interesting. "

" Sincere account of Cullin's 3 & 1/2 year ordeal as a prisoner in South Korea. Interesting insights into culture, 'criminals', and just growing up. I really loved this book. It was very thoughtful and quite well-written. "

" Great book! Lesson learned. Never graduate from college and try to smuggle hashish in Korea. "

" This is the memoir of a very young (23) man who goes to Korea to teach English, gets arrested for smuggling hashish from the Phillipines to South Korea, and the 3 1/2 years he spends in prison. It's interesting so far, though as some memoirs can be, a little too introspective and navel-gazing. "

" Disclaimer: this is my friend's book so I might be a little biased. While this is not great literature, I think it is a really fun read and provides needed, at least for me, catharsis. "

" pretty fascinating. i hope to take some inspiration from the story and make the whatever situation i'm in tolerable at worst. not everyone has this ability, to adapt and overcome pitfalls both large and small. being a pessimist isn't as fun at 30 as it was at 20. "

" This was an insightful, eye-opening read highlighting both the differences and similarities among people and cultures while examining the fundamentals of freedom, imprisonment, and redemptive growth. "

" A very worthwhile read. The story of expat Cullen Thomas's 3 1/2 year imprisonment in South Korea at age 23 for a narcotics smuggling conviction is simply told but incredibly compelling. "
