Who do ya love?

Or love to hate?

You know you've got a lot to say about some larger-than-life characters, and this is the place to say it. Write a straightforward post. Draw a picture. Vlog, write poetry, write fiction, cast the role, be as creative as you want!

Be sure to post the book's title and author, and be very careful not to give away spoilers while talking about how much you love your characters.
