Reader with a Cause discussion

In the “First Impressions” thread, many of you commented that you didn’t like the characters. What about them didn’t you like?

Did anyone like Nick or Amy? And does whether or not we like the characters matter?

What about the other characters – Go, Nick’s father, Desi, the detectives? Was there anyone you could root for, or identify with?

I liked nick. Even when diary amy was saying things against nick I had a hard time believing it and felt somewhat vindicated when it turned out to be lies. He certainly had his faults but I found myself rooting for him throughout.

How do you feel about the decision to cast Ben Affleck as Nick in the movie version?

I think he fits basically in with my idea of Nick so it seems like a good fit to me.

I didn't like Nick or Amy. I felt like we only got a glimpse of Go through Nick's eyes. We got a slight glimpse of Amy's parents through Nick and Amy's eyes. At times I felt sorry for them and other times I couldn't stand them.
