Which one sold more, both in terms of quantity and gross revenue, in the UK in 2014?
David Walliams - Awful Auntie
Gillian Flynn - Gone Girl
Well, unless you assume that the most likely answer is the wrong one or else I wouldn't bother to write about it, you probably will think it's Gone Girl.
And you'd be wrong because I'm bothering to write about it because the most likely answer is the wrong one. :)
According to the Daily Telegraph, the sales of Awful Auntie were 553,921, £3.3 million (about $4.65 million).
Gone Girl: 529,602, $3.0 million (approx. $4.5 million)
For the record, John Green's The Fault in Our Stars beat both of them: 871,815, £4.6 million (approx. $6.9 million).
As the article says, Walliams is now a one-man publishing phenomenon. Awful Auntie is only one of his titles. All together, his books generated £7 (approx. $10.5 million) in sales last year.
