Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

They sure don't come up with random numbers like they used to. If you look closely, you will note that every tenth digit or so is just a repeat of the last digit and every hundredth or so is a just the same digit repeated three times. How sloppy! A sampling of this "work": Page 36 - Line 6 - 15 characters in should be 5, not 4. Page 99 - Line 18 - first three characters should be "453" not "345". Page 145 - Line 2 - 7th and 19th characters transposed. Page 190 - Whole line of numbers omitted betwen 6th and 7th lines. Pages 210 and 211 - Two sections appear quasi-randomized, instead of randomized. Also, if you stare at it long enough, you can decode something around page 300 about Jody Foster and J.D. Salinger giving me some sort of instructions. I'm going to stay up another couple nights staring at this to see if I can make out anything further. *********** Post-Script: After a couple of weeks of studying this book, I set it down and let it be for a while. However, something kept nagging at me - something I couldn't put my finger on. I knew that I had seen all this somewhere before, I just couldn't place it... I was thinking Dan Brown, but I think the Di Vinci Code had something to do with painting or the Vatican or something like that. Maybe that Oprah Book Club guy who got caught lying, but that was kinda a different thing too. I let it go, but it just kept eating at me. I knew I had seen it before, I just knew it. About a month later, I decided to bring the book along to the Rhode Island coast so that I'd have something to thumb through on the beach. As I battled livered kelp from between my toes with the murmur of low tide brushing the pebbled shore on the wind, a revelation hit me between the eyes like a Mack truck into a kindergarten. "WAIT A MINUTE!" I literally jumped out of my fold-away beach lounger: "This is just a straight copy of a string of digits appearing in pi!" Sure enough somewhere in the first 10^(10^7) or so digits of pi, there it was. The authors (if you can call them that) had just cut-and-pasted straight out of the original work! Since then, I've been writing increasingly vitriolic communiqués to the Rand Corporation daily trying to get them to admit to their fraud, but as of yet have had no response.
