britt_brooke I‘m happy I never read his book because it sounds as awful as he does. However, I think the real problem here is the publishing industry. But, that could be said for any industry. There are liars and manipulators everywhere. (edited) 5y
Jess7 I didn‘t love it. It was suspenseful, but Anna Fox (main character) drove me crazy and the ending was super far-fetched. Learning about this author makes me sick. @britt_brooke 5y

Sharpeipup 😮 Just wow. 5y
AmyG Mr. Ripley and his Ladder to the Sky. Wow. I won‘t ever read any of his books. 5y
julesG @britt_brooke Agree to the liars and manipulators everywhere. Why should the publishing industry be an exception. 5y
TheLibrarian Well I‘m glad I didn‘t pay for his book and I won‘t support him in the future. That‘s just disgusting behavior. 5y
Jess7 Yes, I won‘t be reading his next one. @TheLibrarian 5y
tournevis Ok, someone on here yesterday said they went to college with him and was linking to this article. I lost the post. Who was it? 5y
tournevis It's @Megabooks ! 5y
britt_brooke @julesG Exactly. That‘s why I don‘t find this situation surprising. Unfortunate? Yes. But not altogether shocking. 5y
Megabooks @tournevis Yes! I went to college with him. Worked at the Chronicle with him. When it came out in Duke magazine last year that he was AJ Finn my mom remembered his name, but I didn‘t have a clear memory of him. Mary Carmichael, who was contacted for the article, was a friend in college. The bff read the article. She was head of the whole paper the year after Dan graduated and doesn‘t remember him. I contacted the friend that reviewed TV when 👇🏻 5y
Megabooks Dan reviewed films and haven‘t heard back yet. It bugs me that I don‘t remember all his shenanigans. It‘s just crazy. I love (in a bad way) what he wrote to Princeton because that was the only school I applied to where I didn‘t get in! 5y
Megabooks @britt_brooke @Jess7 @AmyG @TheLibrarian I don‘t plan on reading his next one either. I think it was @TrishB who said she met him at a book signing. 5y
britt_brooke @Megabooks After all of this, I‘ll be curious to see what his books sales look like on the next one. Crazy that you went to school with him! 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage This reminds me so much of what happened when the truth came out about James Frey‘s supposedly autobiographical book.![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
A Million Little Pieces 5y
A Million Little PiecesLeftcoastzen Holy Crap! 5y
Eggbeater Wow. I just read the article. This is crazy. Bipolar disorder does not turn one into a pathological liar. What a shame! I really liked the book, too. 5y
TrishB @Megabooks I would like to say it was me just to add to the story! Not this time though. I have this book on my kindle but haven‘t read. 5y
Leftcoastzen I was kinda interested in reading it, but also, the unreliable narrator thing is getting a bit tired. 5y
Tonton Read the article, as well as a recap in the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2019/feb/05/bestselling-author-of-the-woman-at... wow, a lot of energy misplaced 5y
mrp27 @AmyG said it the best! Crazy..... 5y
tpixie I haven‘t made it through the article yet but the story is incredible!!!!! Thanks so much for tagging me on this! 5y
TheBookStacker This is bonkers! Definitely creepy parallels between Ripley and him (murder aside) 5y
KT1432 Nooo freaking way!! Between this, Bad Blood Elizabeth Holmes and Billy McFarland from the Fyre Festival documentaries I'm too done!! We live in a world full of "successful" frauds. ? To lie about cancer is disgusting. I'm mad I bought his eBook on sale! ? I hope his next one tanks. 5y
Megabooks @lele1432 preach!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 5y
BibliOphelia BANANA. PANTS. I am so bummed I bought the book (which I have yet to read) and hope his career crashes and burns. So tired of the callous, privileged people who burn through real nice people and never get their comeuppance. 5y
Marilyncjackson This is crazy! And thanks for sharing 5y
Reviewsbylola That‘s wild! And I also jumped to the James Frey comparison @BarbaraTheBibliophage although somehow this seems waaaaaay worse to me. I guess because this dude just lies for the hell of it, even to people who should be able to trust his credibility, whereas I guess I give Frey some artistic license. 😬😬 Awful, I know. 5y
TheFunkyBookworm Omg wow this is truly wild!!! I‘ll def be skipping his next book...I wonder how people think they can get away with hiding these “skeletons” 5y
TNbookworm Wow! I'm glad I never jumped on the bandwagon and read his book! What a liar! Crazy that he could get away with alI that! 5y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Jess7 I haven‘t read it... it sounded too much like The Girl In The Train and I did not like that book!! So glad I didn‘t spend money on this one!! 5y
The_Heeler_Booklife He sounds crazy. It‘s just horrible he loves to dupe and manipulate. Won‘t read his next book. 5y
GripLitGrl Whoa! Thanks for tag. I am definitely anti liar I pretty must have a zero tolerance level for liars. He's quite the pathological liar & about health issues too, that is the worst! Thinking his book sales will suffer for this & I definitely won't be giving him any support going forward. I do think to lie in the ways he did something is not quite right & he may need some help so he can stop.😳audiobook library loan for me the hype was understood 5y
Jennifer3 I have no words and my phone died before I finished it. Holy sh*t! That amount of lying is insanity. And how no one has called him on it for years! And that author Hannah and what she knows and does. My mind is blown by this whole situation @Jess7 5y
