A Novel : Question 2

[Carol]

Vinnie is an interesting character and so is "Fido", her constant companion. What do you think of her and Fido?.

[Carol]

As we've talked in other books we've read, I'm a big animal enthusiast. I got kind of attached to Fido, and as a character Vinnie was an interesting mix of multi-personalities.

I'm borrowing a quote from Lauren's review that I liked "The meanest thing I will say in this review is that I didn’t especially like the two main characters, but I loved reading about them. They’re fascinating characters – not bad people by any stretch of the imagination, but wonderfully, realistically flawed." That says it in a very interesting way.

I THINK THAT VINNIE WAS AFRAID TO HAVE A REAL FIDO. IN A WAY, CHUCK WAS HER FIDO EVEN AFTER HE DIED…

[Ashley]

The Fido thing threw me for a loop, but the idea he was Chuck’s alter ego (or vice versa?) is interesting. Fake Fido reflects the size of Vinnie’s emotional hole at any given time. Chuck IS sort of Fido-esque, essentially good, sort of sloppy, loyal. Thinks the best of you, even when you suck.
