After the first evening of reading this book, my boyfriend asked me what I thought and I said "well, the protagonist isn't very likable is he?" And anyone who knows me well knows that I do not enjoy stories about unlikable characters, no matter how good the book/movie/tv show is or whether the reason for the character being unlikable is a good one (think Seinfeld or the Office). Anyway, I didn't totally hate the book but I also didn't really like it in particular. The character started out as an awful person and then seemed sort of to change but in a not terribly believable way.
