I recently try to read The Other Side by Cynthia D. Bates. Imagine my surprise when I realized that I was reading a book that I've already read. It was the exact same book by Sindee Lynn's Unexpected Packages published in 2011. Cynthia D. Bates plagiarized Unexpected Packages word for word. Ms. Bates ought to be ashamed of herself.  I liked her previous book Love On The Riviera,  so why go ahead and plagiarized someone else's hard work.  I felt ripped off, cheated and insulted. She copied everything word for word, only I suppose changing the characters name thinking we'll be stupid enough not to notice  that she's a plagiarist.  Just absolutely SHAMEFUL!!!!

PLEASE...DO NOT BUY my book. I do not stand behind it any longer. It does not reflect the life I am living today.

Fraudulent publication.  This publisher does not legally own the copyright to this work.

Anyone purchasing this product is supporting piracy, and is committing an illegal act.

This is a duplicate of an older version of "Becoming a Person with Influence". The contents are almost identical. It tricks readers to buy it with a new book name. This is unethical.

Plagiarism. Unoriginal. Sad! Author is just trying to piggy back off of The ever-so wonderful Michael Knowles.

I purchased this book (which I basically like) and then later purchased "The Pop Piano Book" by the same author. I was annoyed to find that this book is copied verbatim - every word, every example - as chapters 17 and 18 in the larger book. I would assume this is the case with some of the other single-genre books as well.

If you think you're going to want to buy a couple of these Hal Leonard piano styles books, I'd suggest just getting the Pop book instead.

Another day, another discovery of someone trying to make a profit off the intellectual property of others. My review for most of these books, when I find them, and when I bother, is mostly the same.  Why? Because with the exception of the titles, and WHICH pictures and sentences they skimmed from the internet, the books are all exactly the same.

I discovered this "book" when it was listed, along with fifty other books by the same author (although some of the books list a different author on the inside) as a free resource for homeschooling. I am both a homeschooling mom and a former elementary school teacher with a Master's degree in Literacy, so I'm always interested to see what's out there.

This book (and all the other ones in the "series") is nothing more than a collection of pictures skimmed from the internet. Typing "jellyfish" into Google images turns up most of the pictures in this book very quickly, coming from a large variety of websites. The vast majority of pictures in this book are probably being used illegally with no compensation for the owners of the images. (In any case, there are no statements in the book giving credit to the owners of the pictures used, or showing permissions for using them.)

Underneath each picture is a random fact about jellyfish. They are not organized in any fashion, and most of them are unrelated to any other information in the book. They are also NOT at a reading level appropriate for early readers, despite the "FOR KIDS! LEARN TO READ!" advertisement on the cover.

I suspect these are copied and pasted from somewhere, but I didn't search to find out where. Someone else on a review of one of the books found most of the sentences on Wikipedia.

There is no table of contents or any other non-fiction feature you'd want in a children's research book. There is no listing of sources where the facts were obtained.

My guess is that these books were copied and pasted together quickly by someone hoping to make a quick dollar off of unsuspecting consumers. (While this book was free when I purchased it, there were MANY books built exactly the same way that had a price tag attached, and I'm sure this book will not always be free.)

If you've read Your Money Life: Your 20s...you've read Your 30s as well. Your 30s is ~95% a copy and paste of the Your 20s book with a few paragraph/page long amendments scattered here and there at the end of some chapters. I don't recommended purchasing this book if you've already read Your 20s. For this reason I've provided two stars. Aside from the copy and paste, the book (really Your 20s) provides helpful information to everyone, but it's my opinion that publishing the amendments in book form while making it appear as though the book is a stand alone addition to the collection is dishonest and unprofessional.

When compared the same book purchased in 2014, this is not the same version. This is a counterfeit copy.

Careful buying a book by an author/co-author that won't check and correct a mistake like that on their Amazon listing. Should have stood out like a sore thumb to someone using that translation in the book they're selling. It did to me and I'm not the author and not even a Christian. What else have they not been careful about, in the book?

It is unfortunate that a large company decides to publish a book / series that mimics a story that has already been written, by a much more talented and creative writer/artist I might add. I am not surprised that they would capitalize on another artist's intellectual property, with such blatancy and disregard. By purchasing this book you are perpetuating big business taking away from the true artists, not unlike pirating music online. All involved with writing and publishing this book should be ashamed of themselves, I am sure the writer found it very easy to be inspired when they had such a constant source of gold coming from the writer / artist of TaraNormal. Trying to justify theft by saying that the demographic is different, doesn't change the fact that there are far too many similarities (far beyond the name) to consider this a title snafu. I feel bad that the writer doesn't have a creative enough mind to come up with their own story, however I feel worse that the Writer/Artist of TaraNormal has to sit back and watch people steal from him and capitalize on it. Don't by this book, don't support intellectual theft.

I obtained an advanced copy from the publisher.  I was excited to read this with my kids but I could not help but notice what appears to be plagiarism from another book similar to this called "Jebby the akward dog that could not hunt"  by Barbara W. Quakeroatsman.  It is as if Ms. Perino copied that book verbatim. Very disappointed in Ms. Perino as this book is so poorly executed and one of the worst I have read.

This book has major errors, it has been incorrectly copied.  Adarsh Books has NOT taken care at copying the text exactly.  IT SHOULD NOT BE SOLD ANYWHERE.  There are multiple typos that are ALL important.  Page 15--"...except that "friend" was written "friend"!  The second word in quotes should be "freind"..."  This type of incongruity is vital to any book that is misrepresented!
WHY Amazon decided to send me, someone who spends large amounts of money on Amazon, a FAKE BOOK is outrageous!  I WANT A RESPONSIBLY PUBLISHED ACCURATE COPY OF ANIMAL FARM ASAP--  To charge any money for this bunch of pages trying to pass itself off as an all-time classic is sickening!
