How many different ways can you say one thing?

the entire book was basically one chapter worth of information said and retold multiple different ways. it is clear that this book had to have just been something he made to fulfill his publishing requirements. I'm very disappointed because I am typically impressed with this author's work but this one in particular missed the Mark completely.
