New Book on Prince with a sick title and synopsis

Guys,

I can't believe Amazon allowed a writer to publish the following book on their website "Prince is Dead Long Live Prince!" with the following book synopsis

http://www.amazon.com/Pri...B01EQT4EQQ

Product Description:
This work is an overview of the life and death of Prince Rogers Nelson. By reading this book you will find out more about his childhood, his career, his accomplishments, his failures, his religious and political views, the ways he has changed the world and how he will be remembered (especially by queer Black people and people living with disabilities).

In these moments of grief we should cherish his life.

Even though Prince is gone from this world, he will live forever in our memories, in our hearts and in the public conscience.

LONG LIVE PRINCE!

Sounds like The Prince Army needs to sign in to Amazon and leave some feedback on that page.

I'm on kindle unlimited, so I had a look...

...it's almost so bad it's good. 'Prince was a success but also a known failure', 'he never ceased to amaze the world and did so on April 21st by dying unexpectedly'. He was a 'genius singer' apparently. I'm not sure singing can lend itself to genius, any more than something like 'running' can.

That's just page one. Which ends with talk of 'conspirationists' (no kidding) who already believe he's in hiding with Elvis.

It's 27 pages. I think anyone can type up something, call it a book, and sell it on Amazon. I think Alex Hahn's about to.

It sounds like it was written by computer programming aka article spinners(one that looks up articles and replaces synonyms to not plagiarize). No work was done here.
No matter the ©️, Paisley Park "official can never ™️ prince. He gave that to us verbally on Oprah in 1996. You can't take prince away from us, corporate. I mean O ( + >

The one good review, written by "Amazon Customer," who also leaves angry comments on the negative reviews, is clearly the author lol

Prince did do a lot for people with disabilities, though - blind and deaf kids, special Olympics, etc.
I wonder if he had some personal/ particular reason for wanting to help people with disabilities.

Do you think this book will explain it??

Done. And mightycow you probably won't find anything on the "writer" because no writer worth their salt would ever put their name to something as bad as this.

Oh really? I didn't know this. Was he close to this brother? Where did you get this information from (certainly not from this "book" lol ).
Whether or not it's true about the disabled brother, P certainly had a compassionate side.
