For years I read romance novels that after a while all sounded and read the same. It was as if there was this gigantic pool of ghost writers churning out the same ideas month after month. Until the only difference I could find in the stories were the characters names and descriptions. On more than one occasion I held in my hands two books with identical covers -- except for the costumes and hair color on the two main protagonists. And too many times I would begin reading a book and stop to wonder... didn't I just read this? Or, after reading the back cover blurb before buying it, wonder more...
