I see Salem's Child by Robert W Walker behind you to the left. That was an interesting one. I read it last year. It's not bad at all

I used to live very close to Salem, so I'm definitely interested in reading that one eventually. The cover is awesome!

I wouldn't call the cast very complex. Don't get me wrong, they're great chatacters but they're not that complex with the exception of (maybeish) Nny. Speaking of Nny, he's not exactly the one to relate to. I mean, he does have a sort of relatability if you're in your angsty teen phase, but most of the time he's a hypocrite. Personally i'm more of a Wobbly Headed Bob guy. That chatacter makes me go "He's just like me fr!"

I'd disagree and say a lot of the cast is pretty complex as most of them go through a lot of hills as far as growth. Sure, Nny is a hypocrite at times, but it's at least pointed out a lot. I still think he's relatable, to me personally, as we share a lot of the same thoughts when on a downward spiral. As I said, I don't agree with the murdering aspect, but humanity as a whole is a cesspool; and I can admit I'm part of that. We're human, we suck, and sometimes the self-realization hits a little too hard, which is where I can find my relatability with him. I always loved Bob in my teen years, but I think he'd be a little too depressing for me now.
