More of the same multiple fake authors for the exact same book.

Newest re-issue of the same cut, cropped,  pasted and pilfered recipes from food.com in case you don't have the time to go there and get them yourself.  If you go to this guys source and search for soup recipes, you'll find 37,780 which ought to keep you cooking into your next life.

The cover picture has been used on two other soup books in different enlargements so they would look new.  At best they are only refurbished/reworked.

The first one was under the name "Melissa White" followed by "Kyle F. Orland" and the latest fake is "Grace F. Gilliland" that we have today.

The last two are exactly the same cut, cropped, pasted and pilfered recipes in each of the supposedly different ripoff recipe books. The only change is the fake name for the "author" of nothing.

I guess this KDP publisher only has time to change the names hoping no one will notice.  He used to put new and different recipes in the books by "Melissa White" and "Kyle F. Orland" but now he doesn't have time for even that.

The "Melissa White" edition had the goofy title "mOsT-wAnTeD" that might not have been his best ripoff work if there is such a term.

And on and on and on it goes.  Sure would be nice if we could depend on this stopping some time soon.

This book was titled originally by another name by the same author . . . puzzling sort of rip off Exact Same Book story by Nelson Demille with 2
different names.

Something fishy is going on with most of these reviews.  I think the same person, perhaps the author, wrote them.

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.)

All these books though good are kinda the same. If she wasn't the writer of all her books and you put them through one of those programs that check for plagiarism it would come up as so I believe. There are so many similar phrases etc in all her books. It's almost like each story is just tweaked a bit and the names are changed and there you go. Now if your like me and like cheesy tragic vampire love stories without all the explicit sex these books are pretty good. I've read two of her books now and am on my third so something redeeming must be going on. I really think the proofreader on these books has dropped the ball Quite a bit as well.

They sell to many books with the same information

This book shows my name as the author.  This is a hoax.  Do not buy this based on the name of the author.

I bought this because I really enjoyed "The Scientist in the Crib" and I was hoping for more along those lines. What I got however, was exactly the same book as The Scientist in the Crib - same experiments, same analysis, only I paid more for it and two of authors of the previous book were stripped of credit. This book would be great if I hadn't read it already.

I just wanted to point out that MOST OF THESE REVIEWS ARE FAKE and created by the same person.

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.

The first book was okay  meh  The second book was stolen from another author  scene by scene.  The brother in this bookwas the father in the original.  Travis the first bad guy was a young prom date in the original book.  The forced wedding was play by play from the original book.  Getyour own ideas.  Authors work hard to write their stories and should be respected.  You should be reported and be banned from publishing any story.  You disgust me and I will not be reading anymore of your plagiarized stories.

I have enjoyed reading Dean Koontz for years.  Like a lot of authors he has gotten so commercialized that his books are becoming predictable and, in this case, an outright rip-off.  First we are told this is a second volume that was preceded by a book written by someone else (and certainly not Mary Shelley).  Then, to complete the theme we are left to await the final (maybe) resolution in another separate writing.  I have experienced this phenomenon twice before; first with Robert Ludlum and then with Steven King.  I now know to put down any new offerings from Koontz.  Another favorite is gone before he's done, he just doesn't know it.

This is another low quality book with an anonymous author by 'Speedy Publishing LLC'.  The pictures do not correlate with the text.  For example on page 10, there is a discussion of crickets, while there is a picture of a rhino beetle on page 10 and a praying mantis on page 11.  Strangely, the same picture of the rhino beetle is duplicated thereafter on every even numbered page.. really, I'm not kidding.  The book is a joke.

Here is the problem. The author of this book says he is "Dr. Robert Duncan", CIA operative who is the author of "Project: Soul Catcher: Secrets of Cyber and Cybernetic Warfare Revealed". If you look at the author profile for the real Robert Duncan, this book is not listed. The author of "How to Tame a Demon" even lists the same publishing entity, "Higher Order Publishing" in Boise Idaho as the publisher in his/her attempt to hijack Duncan's credentials in what I can only assume is an attempt to sell more books.

This book reads like the whole thing was written in any language but English and run through Google Translate. This alone cast suspicion for me as I read it. An accomplished US scientist wrote this book? No way. So I looked inside Project Soul Catcher in order to check out the writing style. It took me less than a minute to confirm my suspicions. The tacky graphics of this book's cover also are not in alignment with the more elegant cover of Project Soul Catcher.

So the question is this. Who did write this book? A n undercover TI? Understandable to want to keep your identity hidden. Most of us TI's use pen names. But we don't plagiarize the identities of other actual living persons. More research unveiled the real Robert Duncan who can be found on YouTube and online in interviews. He ought to sue whoever wrote this for identity plagiarism.

Given all of the above, the information in this book cannot be trusted. It could be a TI just wanting to help. It could be more propaganda put forth by the gangstalking community in order to manipulate TI's. Because of these uncertainties, this book is a waste of time and money.

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.

This is not a review, just a correction. Mr. Robert E. Jeffrey seems to be shocked by the fact that he read EXACTLY THE SAME BOOK by a different author called Owen West. Apparently he is unaware of the fact that Dean Koontz uses two (of which I am aware) nom de plumes, one of which happens  to be Owen West. So, no wonder that the books Mr. Jeffries read, were the  same. They were written by the same person- Dean Koontz- under different  names.

Lots of repeating by this man not only in the book but from one book to the other by the same author. Interesting thought though
