You can say my review is not about the book but about how to obtain it's content. "Free Ebook" is a lie, the fee of reading this "free" Ebook is your billing information. If this was actually free, I would not need to give you anything, especially the power to charge me. This is advertised as one thing (free), but provides you with something else. You should be made to change the offer to "Free Ebook costing you your credit card/paypal information". I want this review to be a good review, so I added this last sentence to get me to 100 words.
