He took a deep breath, and began composing a series of scathing reviews, targeting the book's accuracy, its shallow understanding of his motivations, and its blatant disregard for the truth. He created fake accounts on Goodreads and Amazon, each one leaving a one-star review, highlighting the inconsistencies, and exposing the author's sloppy research.
