I think you can totally not like a book that much but still like one of the characters, eg I just finished Watership Down, which I didn't like very much, but I did like Fiver, who actually wasn't in it very much. Which is probably part of why I didn't like it so much.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-43719745372920144862012-04-25T13:05:03.506+01:002012-04-25T13:05:03.506+01:00I've seen quite a lot of GWTW love today actua...I've seen quite a lot of GWTW love today actually, which makes me :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-49667518792187844282012-04-25T13:04:07.637+01:002012-04-25T13:04:07.637+01:00I love Charlie so much!

Rhett would revere her as china he couldn't touch for fear it would break, and she would revere him as strong and good and kind without ever actually knowing him and loving the things Scarlett loves -- his singularity, his honesty to the point of being rude, his willingness to admit he is selfish and out for #1. Melanie would love the good down deep but wouldn't honor him by seeing the bad and loving that too. She'd be unable to recognize it.*ೃ༄ Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139487177036647728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-79707389553324327892012-04-24T18:53:47.069+01:002012-04-24T18:53:47.069+01:00Levin is a GREAT pick!

I can't help loving the strength in the latter two, but the sweetness in the prior two makes them beautiful characters, indeed. :D<br /><br />I need to finish To Kill a Mockingbird!
