2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money, June 30, 2004

M. Stabile (Gwinnett County, GA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Living In South Korea (Paperback)
This isn't really a book...it's more of a pamphlet. Very thin and with rather big type. Some of the information is useful, but there just plain isn't enough detail on anything. Some Web addresses are provided (although some of them probably point to websites that no longer exist, as this book is from 2001), but I was hoping for more concrete information about day-to-day life in Korea. This is just too short to provide what I was looking for.

Also, Korea is changing fast, and although this book is only a few years old, it's already a bit outdated. The same information, but more up-to-date, can be found on the internet for free if you do a few Google searches.

This book isn't totally useless, but it's a very brief overview of a country that has so much more to it than the size of this book would suggest. I did find the history and politics sections helpful, but only because on these subjects I wasn't really interested in learning about them in-depth.

To sum it up, I suggest you spend your $10 on a book that provides more actual information, instead of just providing Web addresses so that you can go looking for the info yourself.

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Living In South Korea (Paperback)
This book was good enough to provide me with lots of information about living in- South Korea. Although I mostly used the information for my report, it also provided me with a new intrest in South Korea. This book gave me first-hand information about South Korea. I enjoyed it, certainlly not the best..but pretty good. ( This book does not include many statistics)
