That being said, I didn't agree with all of his actions. I was attracted to his motives and his way of thinking, not because it was a "good" way of thinking, but because it made him a different sort of character. He wasn't a pure and overly sweet character, but he wasn't evil either. He was simply a teenager whose way of thinking made him do things that others wouldn't agree with. Not an excuse to be a bully though.

My least favourite characters were the Mollison's (except for Patricia, sadly we didn't get to see much of her.) and Gavin.
I really found them annoying, I didn't agree with the way the Mollison's saw things (for example their opinion on the rehabilitation clinic) and just their personalities were unpleasant.
And Gavin was just a weak man who should get over himself. Complaining about Kay while not even having the guts to be honest to her. (less)
