I've never disliked a main character of a book so much. Not even K. from
The Trial. No, Tommy
Wilhelm from
Seize the Day takes the cake. All he does is complain about his sad pathetic life, and expects his uppity father to sympathize with him and help him out. Yet he can't even help himself. All he does is make poor decisions he knows will turn out badly. You think he'd learn. I mean, he moved to California to become an actor against his better judgement. And we all know how that turned out. He got married to a crazy psycho lady against his better judgement. Now she's taking all his money. And now he wants to go into
business with this somewhat shady "doctor".
Admittedly, I'm only half way through the book, so I don't know how this all pans out; this is merely just a mid-book rant. I just want to tell him to take a shower and move to the country if he hates the city so much. I want to tell him to go find a job and make some money if his lack of it is causing him so much trouble. Stop complaining and do something about it. Jeez.
Ok,
that's all for now.
