Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish.
At first I had a really hard time with this list, but soon the ideas were flowing. In the end I came up with 8 characters that I did not click with.
1. Sansa from Game of Thrones series
I thought she was annoying. Then again marriage has never been my life goal, and I don't care if I am fashionable or not.
2. Malorie from Bird Box
She doesn't know when to keep her mouth shut, and I have real problems with how she raised her kids.
3. A. Norton Perina from The People in the Trees
Suspected child molester who takes advantage of native people. Not a likeable man.
4. Todd from The Knife of Never Letting Go
Wow, this kid annoyed me. I understand that he's just a kid, but all he had to do was admit that he didn't know everything and things would have worked out so much better.
5. Elphaba from Wicked
I didn't really like anything about this book.
6. The Coroner from The Coroner's Lunch
Another book that I wasn't very fond of.
7. Allison from The Immortal Rules
Why does this vampire keep trying to live a human life? Annoying.
8. Nick from Gone Girl
When everyone thinks that you killed your wife, you should definitely not act like Nick does.
It's interesting that even though I didn't really click with these characters, I did have an emotional response to them. Not all characters are supposed to be likeable. Not all characters are supposed to be unannoying. I enjoyed most of the books even if I didn't click with all the characters.

I don't understand how someone could click with Sansa. She irritated me so much - specially when she was "in love" with Joffrey. It took her so long to see how evil/mad he was.
ReplyDeleteHappy readings! ;)
I agree about Nick. I haven't read the book yet, but have seen the movie :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not familiar with any of these characters! Well, I've heard of some of them. I've actually got Wicked in my TBR pile. Uh-oh...
