Most Hated Mini-Challenge!

Hello! Welcome to the Most Hated Mini-Challenge! No, it's not the mini-challenge that you hate the most, but one about your most hated characters. I figured by this time in the readathon, if you're actually still awake and participating, you're probably hating the readathon right now. And the organizers. And those perky cheerleaders. And yourself for signing up. So, let's channel that into hating a fictional character, then you can get back to remembering why you signed up - to read!

Here's what you need to do. Create a post on your blog about your most hated character from a book. Maybe they're evil, maybe they're just annoying, or maybe they remind you of your ex. Whatever the reason, just pick someone and then write a post that shares who they are, what book they're from and the author, and why you hate them. Then come back here and sign and Mr. Linky, and make sure to leave a comment!

You've got three hours to complete this mini-challenge, which takes us through the end of the readathon! (hours 22-24; 4 a.m. to 7 a.m. central) The winner will receive a $10 Amazon.com gift card via e-mail. I will select the answer I like best.

    Loved ranting about this character. She has been doing my head in for the past few hours.

    Surprisingly, this was difficult for me. It takes a lot for me to *hate* a character. (Dislike, sure. But hate? Whole other beast.) But I found one: Ian Hunter.

    Thanks to everyone for participating in this mini-challenge! I hope you enjoyed the readathon. And it's nice to know there are some other Bella/Edward/Twilight haters out there! And some of you wrote really long answers for being the 809th hour of the readathon! Way to go! And...the winner is...Bitsy at Fabula/Book Chatter! I have to agree on hating Wickham and Lydia from P&P. No one said my most hated character - Uriah Heep from David Copperfield. He's not evil, but he's the creepiest character and just makes my skin crawl. Yuck.

    Well I don't have a blog but I decided to comment. I'm on the west coast so I think mine still qualifies, maybe.
    I hate Valentine from The City of Bones Trilogy by Cassandra Care. He is the father of the two main characters and they both hate him. He is an evil man that kills some of my favorite characters! He is a good evil villain for the story but I hate when people die that I really like. He would sell out his own son to have all the power in the world.
    So if you haven't read this before, the you need to!
