When an Amazon book tells you to ignore its own product description:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004BDOUAI

Quote:
*** WARNING: Ignore Amazon's Artificial Intelligence Description; This Book Is Not About Bitcoin or Crypto!
*** 10th Anniversary Edition; Inflation, Crypto, Pandemics—Why a Fastlane Strategy has Never Been More Important.
*** International Best-Seller, Over 1,000,000 Sold: Translated/Published In Over 25 Languages
If they have the ability to edit the description, why not just remove the AI-generated crypto stuff? Why add a disclaimer?

All I remember is the solid walls of dialogue where I had no idea who was talking.
I remember reading A Passage to India for the first MR Book Club. It was incredibly boring and inane. Even the storyline was awful. I cannot see how it ever got called a classic.

Sometimes the older books may be an issue to read because of the way it's written and not because of the. Storyline and when I see a movie or TV show adaptation, it's OK. But in this case, nothing can make it any good.
