What about Rorshcach? A brutal psychotic murderer. Yet his characerisation was fascinating.
Well, I wasn't asking if you found the characterization interesting. I was asking if he bothered you.
The motivations of the above were well explained/described/illustrated, and presented in a thought-provoking manner. I didn't find this to be the case with Pym.

Right, so, he bothers you(in that sense), right?
quote:He's hardly a role model, but the book isn't about role models. Its about a selection of humanity which has superpowers.
I wouldn't use the word "humanity" in any description of this book, for I believe it is far from it.
