Have any of you ever read a book where one of the main characters, who is supposed to be a good guy and therefore supposedly liked by the readers, does something so stupid, so totally against what you want them to do, that you find yourself hating them for it?
I just read a book like that, The Return of Nightfall by Mickey Zucker Riechert, and let me tell you, I am so mad at the character that I almost threw the book! Grrrr.
Maybe I just get too into the story, but I hate it when people go against their own moral code, and allow their own wishes to put others at harm. And for any of you who have read the first book or the second, I am not talking about Nightfall, but Edward.
Anyway, just had to get that off my chest. You may return to your normal lives now, and forget about the ravings of a book-obsessed woman.

I still love how Mark Twain described a then-popular novel:
"In any book, we should hate the bad characters and love the good characters. In this novel, you hate the good ones, are indifferent to the bad ones, and wish that they would all be drowned together." :-)
(don't forget to email the fic to me)
