The Casual Vacancy...result

So I couldn't finish "The Casual Vacancy". I couldn't handle it. My last try went something like this...

Comic made on StripGenerator.com

My theory is that there are too many characters with nasty personalities and I just do not have the patience to read about them. For those of you who have read Harry Potter refresh your mind about the 5th book, the Order of the Phoenix. Remember how annoying Harry was? He was constantly yelling at people and wanted to be credited for everything. He was hormonal butthead. It was so frustrating to read those parts. Well, the characters of "The Casual Vacancy" are the same way. For example, there is a character who is a horrible father. He calls his sons the worst names, belittles them, and creates fear in them. He has no patience at all so he is constantly screaming and picking a fight. He loves to yell words such as "cunt, fucking, shit". Then there is another character who has no self-esteem whatsoever and cuts herself. Yes, it is sad but I just do not have the patience or the will to read about their fictional lives. Who knows, perhaps things work out towards the end of the book, but I would prefer to read the wikipedia page.

Anyway, I have moved on to "The Time of our Lives" by Tom Brokaw. Opinions to come.
