I've only just heard about this today...so I do not think I am well-versed In the topic. However the book is listed as non-fiction? I believe. It comes to this-is "embellishing...lying! How does it sit with our own moral compasses? If the author did indeed "embellish" he then is a lyer..and I would not want to buy this book. Especially one sold in this manner.

My Mom told me countless times that embellishing was not lying. My own mother who was to quide me truthfully in this life.. did quite a bit of it while here in this world.I have seen the damage embellishing has caused. My Mother was wrong.
