Stranger Than Fanfiction
by Chris Colfer
I actually liked Struck By Lightning so I thought I would give this a shot. Boy, was I wrong for hoping this would be good.
Truly, the only reason why this book will get any high reviews is due to the still lingering Glee fandom that will support anything the actors or actresses from Glee do, no matter how insulting to the English language.
The best way to describe any Chris Colfer book is self-insert. All of his main characters are C named male characters and all reflect his bitchy/whiny personality to a T. For god's sake, get some new character traits.
Let's break this review down Stefon style:
This book has everything;
Cringeworthy main character(Every book Chris Colfer writes the main, or mains, in the case of The Land of Stories, is a self-insert for himself), check-off-the-list LGBT and POC characters for unnecessary reasons, a completely unbelievable plot for a realistic fiction book (seriously, a celebrity going on a road trip with rabid fans, give me a goddamn break), references to Glee fans, Glee cast, and Glee fandom as a whole, egotism objectified as a book, ever changing POVs that give you the feeling you get after riding the Tilt-a-Whorl 5 times in a row, and finally the fact that this book would have never gotten published had the "author" not been a celebrity. Let's be honest.
