Book freaks discussion

I read "Heart on a Chain" a while ago and the main character in their was amazing! Well written and totally likeable! She was the victim of child abuse and she was one of those characters you care about.

The Vampire Lestat, Ya gotta love him! I'm convinced he's for real and that I would know him right away.

Remember when Anne Rice finished writing Memnoch the Devil, her answering machine on her phone said that she had nothing more to say about Lestat, he was quiet now and not talking to her anymore. Obviously she changed her mind after that! At the time I thought it was an odd was of putting it, almost as if Lestat really WAS alive and telling her his life story. But now that I'm a published author, I have characters "talking" in my head all of the time, waiting for me to write their stories also. I guess that's why I write.

Hermione from harry potter, i just love her, even when she's a bit annoying
Mr. Darcy from pride & prejudice
Edmond Dantes in the count of monte cristo
Hareton Earnshaw in wuthering heights
Grover Underwood in the Percy Jackson series

Foaly from the Artemis Fowl books by Eoin Colfer. And Artemis' bodyguard: Butler. If you enjoyed the Harry Potter books, you have to read the Artemis Fowl series! They are much better written, and more fully-developed characters.

Fizban from the Dragonlance Chronicles

I know!! i never liked any character soo much!!He's an angel! (not literally of course, lol)

Edward is my favorite too. Except my Edward isn't a vampire, he kills them with a flame thrower. Edward (aka Ted Forrestor) from the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series by Laurell K. Hamilton.

Hmm...a lot of you guys like fantasy? My favorite is probably Holden Caulfield. Hahaha

Best character? Jace Wayland of City of Bones He's terrificly horrible. Although my all out character crush is Jem Cartstairs from Clockwork Angel.
Teehee, I love her books. :3

Nora Bonesteel from the Ballad Books by Sharyn McCrumb. What a wonderful, wonderful character. I wish I knew her.....

OK, I just posted, then was going back through some of the older posts and there seem to be a lot that mention being in love with Edward Cullen. One says he's every woman's perfect man. Yes, he's good looking....or rather, Robert Pattinson is good looking....but he's also cold. I can't imagine finding a man whose skin is icy to the touch that exciting. Maybe it's just me.

I agree! I also really like Charlie from The Perks of Being A Wallflower, Turtle Wexler (The Westing Game), Addie (The Two Princesses of Bamarre), and pretty much all of the characters in the Harry Potter series.

Charlie is great! He's so innocent and he makes you look at the world with brand new eyes!

I also really love The Creature from Frankenstein.

Oh Edward Cullen, he who has captured the hearts of many

Basically all of the GOT characters are amazing! I love that somebody else get's that! My list is a little bit longer, encompassing Rob, Cersei (because I love to hate her), and TYRION! Jane Eyre is also really amazing :)

I love Jasper!

Ohh I just love Tyrion in game of thrones. He's just sooo cunning, I like that.

Yeah, Tyrion has that quality.. :)

I watch an interview with George R.R. Martin and he says that Tyrion is his favorite character and he would want to be witty like Tyrion. I love him but no one can beat Danny for me.

i love Susie Salmon from The Lovely Bones ... i read her lines over and over "I wish you all a long and happy life" :(

I am so happy to find so many Tyrion fans!

I love many, many characters, and I will never be able to choose

Ah, there's so many! But I guess I'll have to go with Finnick Odair from The Hunger Games. I just really enjoyed his character right from the beginning, and kind of fell in love. (:

Tyler Durden, from Fight Club.
Atticus Finch, from To Kill a Mockingbird

Atticus Finch - To Kill A Mockingbird
A role model for everybody. So sweet and noble

Percy Jackson - Heroes of Olympus series
The sweetest hero I've ever read about.

Annabeth Chase - Heroes of Olympus series
I love her strong character and tough demeanour

Hermione Granger - Harry Potter series
One of the coolest smarties ever!

Scout - To Kill A Mockingbird
She is so mature for her age...

Ed Kennedy - I am the Messenger
Just...Wordless

Rather than repeat characters already listed I offer:

Puck and Bottom from Midsummer Night's Dream;
Rat and Mole from The Wind in the Willows
The Artful Dodger and Fagin from Oliver Twist
Neville Longbottom from Harry Potter
October Daye from the Toby Daye books by Seanan McGuire
