Did you know Anthony Horowitz wrote the Alex Rider series?
A simple self-insert Sherlock Holmes fanfic (did you know Anthony Horowitz wrote the Alex Rider series?) with an unlikeable, homophobic detective at the head (did you know Anthony wrote the Alex Rider series though?) that was played to be mysterious and brilliant but just came across as a typical dickhead. I don't know why Horowitz's self insert simped over him so hard.
Anthony Horowitz wrote the Alex Rider series.
I also get the feeling that Horowitz doesn't like women. At least, he definitely doesn't like them in this book as they are all written with degradation, the descriptions focussing primarily on their flaws and they are treated (he did, though, he wrote Alex Rider) with almost eye rolling frustration at the mere fact they existed around the men.
This is a book. I can say that. And I won't be reading the Alex Rider series that Anthony mentioned he'd written at least 8 times in the book (that I counted).
