Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Characters I Just Didn't Click With

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created by The Broke and the Bookish.  This Tuesday, I am tasked with listing ten book characters that I just didn't click with.  Some of these are probably expected, and others, not so much.  But I will never, ever despise someone as much as Dolores Umbridge.

1.  Augustus Waters (The Fault in Our Stars by John Green)

I know everyone wants a clone of Augustus Waters for themselves, but I would pass up on that opportunity.  He is just so damn pretentious.  Every time he opened his mouth, I rolled my eyes.  I liked him, really, but that didn't stop him from annoying me.

2.  Chaol Westfall (Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas)

I can hear some people gasping behind their computer screens right now.  Chaol has increasingly frustrated me as this series has continued.  Sometimes I want to reach into the book and slap him silly.  He needs to make up his mind and quit being so indecisive.

3.  Adam Parrish (The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater)

Ah, Adam.  Poor, proud Adam.  I don't hate him, I really don't.  But, man does he make me want to rip out my own hair.  However, I must say that in the process of reading Blue Lily, Lily Blue (of which I am currently reading), my aversion to Adam has begun to wane.

4.  Bella Swan and Edward Cullen (Twilight by Stephanie Meyer) 

I am sure that my eleven year old self would disagree, but I don't really think these ones need too much explaining.  Bella is passive and whiny;  Edward is creepy and angsty.

5.  America Singer (The Selection by Kiera Cass)

Oh.  My.  God.  This girl in the most unbelievably fickle, irritating, and mindless thing in the entire world.  I known that she doesn't actually exist, but the anger caused be her ridiculous actions is.

6.  Everyone (The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins)

Literally every character in this book is a ball of messy, pathetic spaghetti.  They're all toddlers playing in traffic and I was torn between being happy they weren't my toddlers and wanting to pull them out of harms way so I didn't have to watch, at least.

7.  Margo Roth Spiegalman (Paper Towns by John Green)

Margo reminds me of a lost puppy who doesn't know that she's lost.  It isn't necessarily her that I dislike, but rather how she is presented: as a perfect image of a perfect girl.

8.  Everyone (The Maze Runner by James Dashner)

Everyone was flat and not fleshed out.  They're little flesh-less skeletons running around with no idea of what they're doing.  I glared at the pages as I read this book and looked most terrifying, I am certain.

9.  Lissa Dragomir (Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead)

A lot of people complain about Rose.  But I am here to complain about Lissa.  Lissa is bland.  She is a potato.  She sits around and looks pretty while everyone else does the saving, and then she is proclaimed to be silly things such as:  wise, perfect, strong.  All things she is not.

10.  Tessa Gray (Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare)

Does this one shock you?  Beloved Tessa Gray, not loved by moi.  It isn't that I hate her, because I do not (she loves books, after all).  She just isn't my cup of tea.  Too much pining, not enough doing.  She is simply meh to me.
