Spoiler for like, any book existing.

I think mine has to be the villain in Mirror Man. Idk, he wasn’t intimidating, he wasn’t interesting. He was meh.

Also the villains from The Chain. Dear God they weren’t sympathetic in the slightest. The book tries to act like they were atleast pitiful but FROM THEIR INCEPTION, they were just evil assholes who enjoyed causing pain. The book itself wasn’t all that great anyways.

        Laying in bed mooching off the work of his impoverished children and grandchild, only to hop up and dance around when Charlie found the golden ticket. He left his family in soul-grindingly poverty, waiting on him hand and foot, just so he could be lazy… and he lied for years about having a disability to get this treatment.

          Yep, and it even takes until we see Charlie offer to buy his tobacco that he says he’ll quit. As in…he was perfectly fine letting the mom buy his tobacco when she worked in the laundry all day and they only had cabbage stew to eat. He had regular tobacco and Charlie thought it was big treat to get one chocolate bar per year. Smh. Then she doesn’t even get to go on the exclusive chocolate factory tour…Charlie takes his deadbeat grandpa, who can suddenly and conveniently walk when there’s something fun to do. I feel so sorry for her. The woman who had been keeping the family of 5 afloat single handedly relegated to background character.
