30 Avid Bookworms Reveal the Worst Decisions Made By Authors

So, we have two kinds of examples here. The first is about the authors who messed up IRL and affected their reputations. Have you ever loved a book series so much, but then the author did or said something controversial in the media that ruined their novels for you? JK Rowling is a prime example of this. The Harry Potter series was a favorite for many years until Rowling made some comments on social media that a lot of people didn't approve of. But the question remains: can you still appreciate an author's work despite their personal views or actions?

Then, we have the second type of example: when an author misses an opportunity in their books. This could be anything from killing off the wrong character, ruining a series with a poor TV adaptation, or simply going off the rails with the second half of a book. These bookworms reveal it all and more below. Keep scrolling to read about thirty authors who made terrible decisions.
