Is It or Isn't It?
To "plagiarize" means to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own to use (another's production) without crediting the source to commit literary theft to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source¹ Maybe that’s a little harsh for the book I just finished… but it was what I was thinking most of the time I was reading. It honestly wasn’t that the story was exactly the same, but the sentiments, dialog, and descriptive passages just felt SO familiar.
