1) Krystal. She does the wrong things for the right reasons, it seems.The end of the book with the flashback scene from the race is heartbreaking.
2) I also have a lot of respect for Kay. This is what a social worker should be like. In the beginning I resented the way she seems to cling to Gavin, but towards the end of the book, when her reasons are explained, she is absolved in my eyes.
3) Not exactly my favourite, but with a lot of impact on many people around him is Barry Fairbrother. His death, though necessary, seemed a shame once we got more information about him.
Least favourite:
Fats. I came to wonder if I was reading about a psychopath. I'm still not convinced he isn't one.(less)
