I really don't even know what to do with this ...
That book (in the above posts) by Daniel Marion Mitchell Jr. is on amazon.com -- apparently someone reviewed it (allegedly it's own author) and the only thing I can find on that particular review is a quote from another reviewer.
This was posted on
October 30, 2011.
I will not report this "post", so that it might serve as an illustration of this "author's" intellectual and moral level.
BTW, the genius has posted a five-star "review" of his own "book" (the only review it has). Enjoy:
"At least three mass murderers have been associated with this book since its release. The Lords of 2112 is a Catcher in the Rye for the modern psycho and the reasons are quite obvious once you have read and analyzed the contents of this book. It is written in some form of coded, double-entendre that is somewhat hard for the layman to decipher, but the manical message is crystal clear to those for which this book was intended to reach. When I read The Lords of 2112, I could literally feel bugs crawling all over my skin, eating in to my brain. The Lords of 2112 is pure sickness! I believe it should be banned in America forever. It is too dangerous to have this available to nut-jobs like Jared Loughner, Anders Breivik, and Scott Dekraai. Who will be the next person to go completely insane from reading this book!!!"
Indeed, only insane would read it.

Allegedly, Daniel Marion Mitchell Jr. (or someone posing as him) wrote that quoted part of the excerpt. This was over one year ago.
Then, after the Newtown school shootings, the name of the reviewer was changed from the author's name to Adam Lanza.
Here's the review from
December 16, 2012:
First off an author should not review their own book. But then to go back and change the name of the reviewer from your own to Adam Lanza is just sick. Way to try and profit off a tragedy. I will never buy anything you write. You should be banned from Amazon for this stunt.

Above is the link to the cache of the page before the mass murders in at Sandy Hook showing the name of the Author as the reviewer. Shame on you!

The author of the book could not have changed the name of the reviewer after the school shooting --
because the author had already died (committed suicide) about a week prior (see last post).
There is something wrong here.
UPDATE/ADD
Luckily, somebody was smart enough to take a screenshot. It looks like Daniel Mitchell did indeed write that, and it apparently has been scrubbed from the site within the last month (after the name of the reviewer was changed to Adam Lanza).
So, how did
the name get changed from Daniel Mitchell to Adam Lanza if both of them were already dead?
