Why is it okay for famous people to take credit for writing a book that

actually a ghost writer has written? The publishing market is so difficult to break into for so many talented writers and yet famous people are getting published everyday with ghost writers. How is this fair to anyone, especially the person who really wrote the book.

The ghost wrote the book for the money. This practice of famous people getting their 'books' published will end when the twits who buy them stop or are stopped from doing so.

The ghost writers still get paid but not as much as the author. We go and buy their book and we shouldn't and thats how they get the credit.
