"The owner of Perfect Heart", A Book That May Not Worthy Publishing

There's a dozen years old and weak who choose to live in suffering for the sake of saving money to contribute to a foundation. There is also a family of deprivation but always lend money to everyone including to the rich and do not mind if the money was not returned. Then there's the poor laborers who after adopting orphans then become rich businessman owner of a national company, unfortunately does not mention the company name. There is also the story of a destitute teachers who give alms to beggars and got instead when finding a lot of money on the road and a few years later he built his economic well-established boarding school, again unfortunately not described in detail the name of the teacher and boarding schools. Of the dozens of stories that fill this book, almost entirely set in the generosity of someone like that. For a while I believed the stories were really there.
My biggest question may be regarded as a protest against this book is not on the content of the story that is presented but on originality. When opening the bibliography in the back yard I was surprised to see the variety of credit that is written there. Almost entirely derived from the blog and one of the news articles on the site on line. Reading the bibliography instantly my judgment on the book evolved. This maroon hardback book probably should not be published.
First how accurate is the label "based on a true story" that brought this book ??. Almost hard to trace the sources of the truth of the story. Although I admit inspiring story as such does exist in our environment. How does the author ensures that disadurnya story is a true story if it is not the experience itself, or at least get the experience of the direct perpetrators. Moreover if the referenced resource is "google.com" and the TV shows that we know all the full engineering.
Without intending to prejudice, I also asked how the book is organized like?. And what considerations print publishers graduated ?. This book in my shallow glasses can be considered a product of plagiarism
Is the author of this book is also the original author of an article that appeared in many of these blogs ?. Until finally finished reading the book and check out a few links, I doubt it. If indeed the real stories of real events indeed, even this book still leaves a big problem because the book made by adapting and re-clipping stories from many sources is still questionable originality even stronger indication of plagiarism.
Even if the stories are true, if the author and publisher of this book have to get permission from the original author to use the article as a material in the book ?. What surprised me and an indication that this book could be considered to make up a sentence that plagiarism is a story and editorial in this book is almost the same as that written in the form source. At least I've checked some of the links mentioned and compared with a series of sentences written in the book. In fact, an article published in detik.com also moved into this book is no different with forms.

The things that makes this book to be very problematic in my opinion. Although it can be classified as "common knowledge", but a lot of stories in it hard to be traced to the truth because only sourced from popular blog posts. The book is also organized in a strange way that the downloading of copy and paste. So how can a book written in this way and doubt can rise originality ?.
