Do you see the problem too?

I'm not sure that Yolanda Barrett is a real person because she doesn't have her own site or even seem to exist outside of Amazon. She apparently has several books. If you check out her author page, she seems to think that a group of goats is called a "flock", so . . .

I watched this YouTube video a few months ago about fake foraging books on Amazon, and I think something similar is happening here.

So like written by AI or something!?

Yes. Which would also go some way to explaining why the people in the reviews remark that the book seems like it was written by someone who is not an English speaker and that there are a lot of grammar errors.

No way to be sure without a lot of investigating, but I wasn't able to locate any information about an author named Yolanda Barrett, which is really unusual for an author.

Using AI to generate content and then throwing it up on Amazon (As a book or an audiobook) has become a very popular "get rich quick" scam that people do.

Or maybe Yolanda is a real person who is bad at writing and thinks a group of goats is called a "flock"? Sorry, Yolanda!
