1.0 out of 5 stars Fiction by Liar, October 29, 2011
This review is from: The Uncharted Path: The Autobiography of Lee Myung-Bak (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 stars You're seeing the face of the biggiest liar in the history of Korea, November 4, 2011
This review is from: The Uncharted Path: The Autobiography of Lee Myung-Bak (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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Save your money and donate it instead...., October 25, 2011
This review is from: The Uncharted Path: The Autobiography of Lee Myung-Bak (Hardcover)
I have not read this book.
But I know that whatever he says in the book is probably a lie.
In his home country, he is known for his 'tax cuts for wealthy' policy and horrible environmental protection record.
He will probably say exactly the opposite in his book. He is known for that, too.
This book is not published in his home country, South Korea, because
nobody with a right mind would buy this book.

"He is the first president who 'reserved' jailtime right after his presidency."
A pathetic liar and fraud.

1.0 out of 5 stars Steve Jobs must be rolling in his grave to see his book being displayed alongside this corrupt politician's pulp fiction, November 5, 2011
This review is from: The Uncharted Path: The Autobiography of Lee Myung-Bak (Hardcover)
Just do a quick internet search on this Korean president and you'll see what he is really like.
He has also 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 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, and routed the country's tax dollars so that he can enrich his wealth indirectly. 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. Turns out this "donation" ended up saving him from paying inheritance tax.
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."

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...

I never had interest in polical things in my life before until South Korea voted for Myung-Bak Lee as a President. I never knew the media (Chosun, The Central Daily, Dong A)lies to people for only their interest. But now I know that Han-Na-Ra-Dang and fake media such as Chosun, The Central Daily, Dong-a should destroyed then South Korea can survive. I never seen people like Myung-Bak Lee before. He's a evil still he has title as a church elder(?). I wish he die as soon as possible. I wish press tell the truth. The last bastion of democracy is organized civil power who awakeen. Sorry for my english. But I want to tell peopel the truth about Myung-Bak Lee. He's a useless germ. He's a dictator! Shame on you! Myung-Bak Lee!!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars This is a funny joke..., November 7, 2011
This review is from: The Uncharted Path: The Autobiography of Lee Myung-Bak (Hardcover)
When i look at this book, i question why this book was even published. Everything in this book is probably- I mean, IS a lie. yeah, sure maybe he starting with nothing and crawled his way to the top... and to the people who admire him for that, i ask you... HOW exactly do you THINK he went to the top? By being an actual legit and fair person? No, there are countless number of time where he cheated his way through a situation and gotten away with it. I personally think that this book is a waste of trees. Quite literally, the world can do without this book.
Also, AUTOBIOGRAPHY???? that just made me roll on the floor laughing... i bet $1 to anyone here that "his highness" did not write this book. Really, i don't think it is possible for someone to go THAT low...

1.0 out of 5 stars A Ray of Sunshine from His Excellency, November 5, 2011
This review is from: The Uncharted Path: The Autobiography of Lee Myung-Bak (Hardcover)
If you are one who often swells with the fantasy of success and vainglory, this is the definite book that will show you a trick or two about how to play the crowd (or constituency) and get rich.
Who is Myung-bak Lee? The greatest pretender that swaggered out of the froth of the Sea of Japan to build the presidential conglomerate of the Lee brothers is our man. Pardon my heroics: there hasn't been any of this magnitude in Korea ever since the time of the legendary Kim, Sun-dal. Born in Japan during the Japanese annexation of Korea and--here I repeat myself again--born in Japan while his mother was in Korea, Lee existed in the penumbra of his more successful, or shall I say legitimate, brother. His path to success and wealth is, though, without a single stumbling block ever since the dictator who supposedly had put him in jail for participating in anti-Japanese demonstration (I know it is pushing the limit of credibility--why would he turn on the country of his origin?) had a change of heart to sponsor the "troublemaker" in his job search (this guy's life is just that full of unbelievable miracles). To that envious story of rags to riches add the glamour and fame of a TV soap opera whose handsome hunk, people would whisper, was modeled on you-know-who. That soap opera definitely put a golden halo around his pale oily face. Then there were the massive fountain that he built for Seoulites and a bus transit system and a few others between his mayoral stint and the presidency of Korea.
In the mean time, he had inadvertently confessed his involvement in an insider trading scam (what is better known as BBK in Korea) and his family has been dogged with persistent rumors and some legitimate reports of veiled transactions of real estate properties (Korea is a ultra-high-density country, you know, making riches made off the land an ethical soft spot). Even four years into his presidency the clouds of suspicion have not been dissipated no matter what or how much machination MB Lee might engineer. Let's say these are another day's work to figure out.
Coming back to the so-called autobiography of the seventeenth president of Korea, this purported true account of the spotless soul (FYI, he is a presbyter of a Korean mega-church) was first published in English, so that MB Lee could build his rapport with the international audience, teaching them how to go "green" (in more than one sense). As you might have guessed, MB Lee's mother tongue is not even Korean, so it is not fair to criticize him for his stilted and awkward Korean sensibility. And I try to give the benefit of doubt to this extraordinary man of international renown--he might feel more expressive in English, who knows? Who is there to say if his Korean is awkward, he cannot write a book?
MB Lee might have inspired a ghost writer or two with his spotless soul and indefatigable leadership as in the way the Bible was once written; yet, it just takes too big of a leap in gut conviction to call whatever that was churned out an autobiography. I without any cagey caution can say this though: this will serve as a motivational opportunity, a fantasy narrative of self-glorification if you will, if you are a sucker for that kind of BS.

1.0 out of 5 stars The UGLIEST president of Korea EVER !, November 7, 2011
This review is from: The Uncharted Path: The Autobiography of Lee Myung-Bak (Hardcover)
Throughout the history of the Republic of Korea, we have had a few "good" presidents (two, to be precise), many "bad" ones, and one "ugly" president.
This book is "written" by the ugly one. It is like an evil princess from a fairy tale I used to read when I was a little girl. Whenever he opens his mouth, toads, snakes, worms, and all the possible disgusting things flow out. We had pretty bad presidents including the one responsible for the bloody massacre of innocent civilians of Kwang-Ju in 1980. However, nobody is uglier than the current president Tuco Lee.

To be fair, I did not have a chance to read this book and do not have any intention to read it, since I am like tens of millions of fellow Koreans who quickly change a TV channel whenever his face shows up on TV. He is a corrupted liar building his political career on lying and deception, having detrimental negative effects on millions of Koreans. I would rather throw money away than buying this book. Period.
