    Holden Caulfield....while this protagonist thinks the phonies in life are the antagonists...we all know that Holden is his own antagonist.

    LOL I tried to edit it, but apparently "****" is a bad word!!! I suppose I could've done D*ckens?
  • August from Water for Elephants, because who abuses animials, really?!

    My thoughts exactly! My stomach started to hurt anytime I read that he was heading to the menagerie tent... ugh.

    A lot of good choices listed by people already. I'll add:

    - Peter Wiggin and Bonzo Madrid from Ender's Game
    - Joffrey Baratheon, Cersei Lannister, Viserys Targaryen and many others depending on timeline/POV in the A Song of Ice and Fire series.
    - The Crippled God in the Malazan Book of the Fallen series.

    "The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed." is quite possibly the best opening line from a book. Ever.

    I completely agree.
