After (Anna Todd)
After by imaginator1DMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
Another fanfiction P2P.
Except instead of using Twilight to establish a fan base, this idiot used British boybander Harry Styles. Now I'm not a fan of One Direction & Co in the slightest, but even I know how messed up this is.
No one knows how this POS/After got out of control. And yea, it is a POS. While reading through the first chapter I was mentally editing it in my brain. Run on sentences, lack of semicolons, past tense bullshit. And knowing that it was bought for six figures by one of the most recognized publishers in the world, Simon & Schuster.
The same publisher, mind you, responsible for Stephen King, Dan Brown, Becca Fitzpatrick, and R.L. Stine.
A few reasons this book could (and probably will) bomb
1) There's a damn petition for #suspendannatodd, to prevent this broad from fuckin up Harry Styles reputation.
2)Yahoo has written an article slamming this book for being a piss poor rip off of Fifty Shades.
3)The author is a liar. It was revealed that the author, Anna Todd is 25, married, and not going to any educational institute. Whereas a year ago she was 18, single, and a student of neuroscience at UCLA.
4) Author says Styles will have no involvement in any of this mess, yet she keeps posting pictures of him as "Harry" and going on about After.
5) The book is very monotone.
6) It glamorizes Harry Styles as a rapist ect..
All of the other publishers are probably shaking their heads...
Harper Collins publisher:
Razorblade publishing:
Little Brown:
What's funny about all of this (Aside from the massive amount of views on Wattpad), is the fact that this book has thrived by 11-16 year old readers, who probably had to hide under their covers and read this POS via cell phone.
Parents on release day:
Kids:
It's gotten so bad, in fact, that Harry Styles has blocked this author from Twitter.
Read at your own risk, I guess. But I sure as hell won't recommend it. And yea, I'll be one of those people pushing Beautiful Disaster, Easy, and other titles in front of it at Books-A-Million.
