17 year old authors...!!!
Who wants to read 17 year old over achiever's book? Give me a break. So, the publisher and those who read it you all deserve what you got. This was just like the two or three super achieving reporting scandals.
Sandip is right about over achievers. Having been a parent in this age of over achieving "brilliantly sensitive lactose intolerant" kids I have had enough. No matter what race, religion or ethnicity, they are annoying and so are their parents. These kids lie all the time. They pad resumes with fake volunteer work, they plagiarize, they harass teachers, they gorge on the school resources, they are pushy, they are rude and lack any kind of humility. The elitist sport is not tennis or golf anymore, it's creating these little monsters that have little or no sense other than achievement.
Lets expose them for what they are, packaged products of parents eager to convert America's alleged meritocracy into a hereditary aristocracy.
Expose the little brats and give some slacker a chance.
