1.0 out of 5 starsA corrupt politician's pulp fiction (** notice how most of the five star reviews are from first time reviewers**)
By J. Youm on November 5, 2011
Format: Hardcover
It's interesting to note how a swarm of first time reviewers are flocking to review this trash with five stars and with similar "text" (the five star reviews repeat the similar words/phrase). And the 5 star reviews all happen in batches. Makes you wonder if they are real reviewers or not.

Just do a quick internet search on this Korean president and you'll see what he is really like.

He wrecked the middle class by focusing all government spends on the ultra-rich (most social incentives now favor the multi-real estate owners), destroyed the strong IT industry of the country by abolishing IT related government organizations (in the name of cutting costs), killed the environment with ridiculous man-made canals that costs billions annually just so that the water won't rot (as of Aug 2012, the water supply IS rotting with algae and even the water supply to the capital city is becoming toxic), and routed the country's tax dollars so that he can enrich his own wealth indirectly (recently got caught buying his own land using the country's tax money and going through his son). He was brazen enough to say that he donated all his wealth (his campaign promise), only to set up a trust fund managed by his son-in-law, and is only donating the amount that he has saved in taxes by setting up this trust. Turns out this "donation" ended up saving him from paying inheritance tax as well.

You'll notice that one of the top 10 Apple Podcasts in the WORLD is by a Korean satire news show called the Ddanzis. Wonder why? Because this president filled all the major Korean news media outlets with his cronies to suppress any criticism. The country's news media has gotten so bad that people are going out of their way to get real news via the internet instead of listening to propaganda that stoops to the level of George Orwell's "1984" or "Animal Farm."

Feel free to read this book if you like chanting "four legs good, two legs bad" and "Napoleon is always right."

Format: Hardcover
Many people claims that he is the most corrupted president ever in Korean history. He always uses people and Has very deceptive personality. You should wait until how he gets punished by Koreans after his term ended.

1.0 out of 5 starsFiction by Liar
By Mrs. on October 29, 2011
Format: Hardcover
Here is your bible if you secretly wish to scam people and learn how to cover your ass. Writing a book would be your first lesson.

I highly recommend that US hire him after his term ends as a president of South Korea. He is very loyal. He already promised to generate 70000 US jobs in offering his own People's sacrifice just for a short visit.

1.0 out of 5 starsHero
By Taz on November 6, 2011
Format: Hardcover
We Koreans are the happiest people on earth because we have such a respectable president!! This president shows off his tastes of literature by saying, "Let's go out and get some fresh air" when flirting with a girl. He is a man of refined musical taste as well. He loves to dance the Blues. He has shown unbelievable eating habits by eating a dog for 3 months straight. Above all things, money has been and always will be his major interest. He has shown his unique and unfailing faith in saving the economy by ruining it in the first place. We are also happy with the reliable leadership he's showing. This country is heaven on earth.
The name of our president is...

1.0 out of 5 starsYou're seeing the face of the biggiest liar in the history of Korea
By Hyon C. Lee on November 4, 2011
Format: Hardcover
I call this guy a biggiest liar lucky enough to become a present of South Korea. Truth?

During college year, he was arrested during anti-government movement, then he got "prematurely" released of the service time and "mysteriousely" entered Hyundai without the mandatary military service and went up the ladder at an unprecedented speed that was never known in the hisotry of korean chaebol -> he was gov't plotted/sponsored spy in college.

during his tenure at Hyundae construction -> the company went into bankrupcy. Yet he glorifies those times and lie about achievement.

He became wealthy through illegal real estiate speculation.

With this wealth, he became a congressmen but failed to finish the service term due to illegal political fund. His own right hand man at that time accused him for all the illegal/unethical doings he has committed.

When sentenced down from the congressmen, he ran to US and established BBK security exchange company with another Korean American con man. The company's seed money are of course illegally funded by Lee through illegal means. The con man ran off with hundred of millions of dollars of investor's money and this case is still at trial in US. Yet he claims no association with the crime despite real video records and tons of other evidence exists.

those are a few examples of life path he has led. He became president with lies and continues to lie at his presidency. He will never stop lying so don't waste your time reading this book. Korean people are so eager to have him step down from the Office. It is a shame as a Korean, but if anything, he will be locked inside jail right next day his term ends.
