Author Fights For His Book On The Internet After Slacking Student Pleads For A Quick Summary

You never know who'll you'll meet on the internet. Maybe it's the Craigslist killer, or maybe it's the author of a book you need to read for your summer school assignment. For Yahoo! user ? Idiot America ~ ???????x ?, the latter held true. He (lazily) took to Yahoo! Answers to have someone else review his summer reading book for him, The Boy Who Couldn't Sleep And Never Had To by DC Pierson. Surprisingly enough, Pierson himself responded to the post. Now, clearly, the internet has made publishing a difficulty for authors. Traditional publishing houses are bleeding cash, and choose fewer and fewer authors to back.
