Hmm...some reviews seem to have been removed. But, here is one of the better written ones:

"Encore Books is at it again -- a fake author redo rip-off book with new fake author but same dishonest publisher."

Well documented criticism, also, with links to where some of the original recipes come from. Same person wrote up review of their catfish cookbook (same plagiarism issues): http://www.amazon.com/Catfish-Recipe...owViewpoints=1

Also, many of the ones still remaining talk about the poor formatting and instructions. My favorite of their reviews, though, are for their three-ingredient book:

23) Buttered Sweet Potato with Pork Toppings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Ready In: 60 minutes
INGREDIENTS: Sugar, 1 serving diet soda, 1 package regular white cake dry mix

(I'm pretty sure that won't work and would not make much of a potato/pork meal, even if you had proportions to work with).
