The author then has the luxury of evenly spacing the story arc and gives the book balance.įanfictions, are written and published (or updated in the fanfiction world) chapter by chapter.
The consumers receive the book whole and can read it in one sitting.
This hopefully means that the story has been smoothed out and any plotting problems sorted. Yet, it's in their conception and delivery that makes them markedly different.Ī novel is written, edited and then published for public consumption. Both narratives that span similar lengths from novellas to sprawling epics. You see, Fanfiction and novels appear on the outside to be similar mediums. Unfortunately, the novel's history caught up with it in the least expected the way. The main female protagonist was laughably incomplete as a character and still managed to be scarily dependent on her boyfriend despite the fact that he was both homeless and mentally-ill.Īll of this would usually still leave you with somewhat of an okay story. The exboyfriend was mustache-twirling ridiculous, the three brothers lacked a realistic bond or even respectable backstory. The characters are two dimensional and unconvincing, the plot is a haphazard hodgepodge of nonsense and the writing is mediocre. That part is still true - but I'm saved from having a moral dilemma over whether to give this book a high rating or not - because this is not a good book. I was willing to maybe put that aside if it was good because I remember the relationship dynamic and characters being very different from the source material and, indeed, being very different from any book I'd ever read.
Unfortunately this book fails both tests. There has been a great discussion in the comments about pulled Fanfictions and whether they are morally reprehensible for their past or should be judged based on their quality and degree of separation from their source material. Will they be able to outsmart the criminals and save the day?įind out in this action-packed adventure full of twists and turns.
