I truly disliked the character of Cristopher Banks in 'When We Were Orphans' by Kazuo Ishiguro, this man irritated me so much that I had to force myself to finish the book.
Thankyou J-D, sounds like a long browse through the pages in the book store will be in order.
I think what scares me the most in this story is that it is so easy to put yourself in the situation. The fear doesn't come from some unimaginable monster or creature but from losing something most of...
