Review of the book

Was this recorded before or after Duane's conversation with him?
If you parse casey's comments, it's astounding how huge his ego is, and his utter contempt for everyone he's involved with. He lies without even thinking about it, and resorts to a creepy giggle when he's confronted with uncomfortable truths.
The boy just ain't wired right.
I just kept being struck that I was listening to a coupel of man-childs, who love to throw around big words and big ideas and talk, talk, talk, but i got no real feel that they have any real skill between them.
I'm sorry, but a publisher who refuses to name his products is a snake oil salesman.
I was offered an opportunity out of college to do illustrations for a guy who reminds me of this jizzbucket. His MASSIVE idea was to grab onto the coattails of Jurrasic Park and publish a blatant rip off of it - and of course had wild, grandiose plans for merchandising, toys, sequals, audiobooks, you name it. He talked a good game.
Then I saw the manuscript. I stayed in long enough because i wanted to see what he had, I had already decided he was a bottom feeder, the money he was offering me was an insult (about 6 months of work done in 3 weeks no less).
Wow. Just, wow. That bad. I saw it as a lawsuit from Speilberg's people waiting to happen.
The funny thing is, the Davinci Code thing is way over - to try and ride those coattails is idiotic. If anything, it's even more funny because so much has come out showing how much of a hack Dan Brown is, how much of the book is rubbish and possibly stolen from someone else (and ripped off some of teh more popular books in the genre, mostly Holy Blood, Holy Grail), and "The Davinci Code" the movie pretty much flopped.
(I'm a devotee of conspiracy, especially Rosicrucian stuff - don't beleive it, but it's fun. I HATE Davinci Code. Plus, it's just a badly written book, the characters are flat and wooden, and the guy sets the scenes in some fo teh most incredible architecture in the history of humanity, using some of the greatest pieces of art...and doesnt fucking even try to describe them!) (Dan Brown is a hack)
It's not really the best thing to try and steal an association from. The Davinci Code is kind of a joke now.
We won't even get into how stupid and moronic and utterly senseless "Foreclosure Code" is. What, the key to getting out of foreclosure is in the Ark of the Covenant? The key to getting out of foreclosure is to avoid albino, masochistic monks in a superdooper secret society? The mysteries of avoiding foreclosure are hidden in code in ancient manuscripts?
Casey's book can be written in one sentence: Don't commit mortgage fraud. Done. Gimme a check, Marty.
Book Two: Don't lie about committing mortgage fraud.
Book Three: Get a job.
Book Four: Pay your debts on time and in full.
Three more checks, Marty. Paypal is acceptable too.
Foreclosure Code. Give me a fucking break - it looks like a high school English assignment that got a C.
What's next, Casey Potter and the Goblet of SWEET DEALZ™?
Marty, you're a hack. Not only am I a published artist, but I'm a creative lead in a marketing department of a fairly large company, and work with some pretty damned talented people.
You suck. You are a HACK. In my Constitutionally protected opinion, of course. Your ideas are shit, you are overbearing and gaudy in your approach, and you don't respect your market.
Bottom feeder all the way. Your paycheck depends on people being ignorant, gullible, and dumb.
