Title: Motivations
Review: What does Greene's personality have to do with whether the book is good or not? Greene's personality is irrelevant. Also irrelevant is whether certain readers interpret Fowler as sympathetic. I found him pretty repellant as a human being but thought his character was well drawn and totally believable. He doesn't have to be likable. I'm a bit confused when people use an author's personality or other people's interpretations as their reasons for liking or disliking a book. That seems pretty superficial. Judge the book on it's own merits -- if you thought it was well-written and interesting, give it five stars. If you didn't, pan it.
