P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast Plagiarize?

Guys? Guys? Did they not teach you in school to put things in your own words?

It's one thing to shake my head helplessly at grade-school kids copying and pasting a huge chunk of Wikipedia into a Word file, knowing that they're going to get caught. Published authors should know better.

And as a question of good writing, if your character talks like an encyclopedia, and isn't Spencer Reid, you're probably doing it wrong.
