Has anyone ever heard of this before? I was on Tumblr, and I checked out this article on Cracked.com. So there's an author named Richard Brittain who attacked, when I say attacked, I mean he went out of his way to stalk the woman, track her down, and HIT HER IN THE HEAD WITH A WINE BOTTLE. How crazy is that? That's insanity.
It's safe to say that even though Stephenie Meyer is a terrible author, at least she wouldn't stalk someone and commit violence. Gloria Tesch ain't got nothing on him. All she did was beat up another girl but not to the point where the other girl was injured. Here's his Goodreads account: www.goodreads.com/book/show/23208841-the-world-roseHere's the woman's review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/1056564898Fortunately, she's still alive and well, but her head was numb.

Well, there's a prime example of asshole. Although that doesn't really count as "bad writing" rather a "bad person"

Well, like I said, that's also incidental. I'm sure plenty of bad writers are nice people in real life.

He's a BAD writer also.Guys, this isn't about him being a bad writer and a bad person, it's about him being a crazy person. This guy is a nutcase. He took things too far and actually went all the way to another country, stalked a woman, and while she was grocery shopping, he hit her in the head with a freaking wine bottle. Her review was harsh, but Brittain didn't need to take it too far.

There's just a lot of fucked up people going off for no reason, and plenty of them are murderers. I guess it's not surprising to me one of them would write a book and then obsess so much over it. If this tipped him off, anything could have.
Imagine that book actually became somewhat popular. Good book or not, I don't think it's possible to never get a 1-star-review unless you have only very few readers. Someone will find something that ruins their whole experience, and if nobody can, it must be a bland book. What if a pure troll would have written a rant post without much explanation that lets you judge for yourself? Someone as violent as that who has clearly lost any sense could have easily done something worse.

That guy is dangerous and if he's able to stalk someone, and hit them with a wine bottle, then he's certainly capable of doing worse things. He could commit murder and if he does, I wouldn't be surprised.
