Top Ten Tuesday REWIND (a past topic I missed):
Villains/Other Characters I had a STRONG Negative Reaction To
1. Dolores Umbridge... Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - I think I hated her more than Voldemort, if that's possible... a horrible horrible woman, and one of the best side characters J.K. ever created :)
2. Miranda Priestly... The Devil Wears Prada- Yeah she was a bitch! I definitely felt bad for Andrea.
3. Mrs. X... The Nanny Diaries- Holy horrible mother!! I wanted to jump in to the book and strangle her!
4. Voldemort... Harry Potter- Ok I had to put him on here... He's only like the most despised villain in book history right?
5. Connor's Parents... Impulse and Perfect- I don't even have words for these people.
6. Cole... Bitter End- Needed castrated. Enough said.
7. Frankie... Twenty Boy Summer- Ok so I know this is an odd choice because she's definitely NOT a villain... but I had a very strong negative reaction to her. She needed punched for what she did, for real.
8. Peter Van Houten... The Fault in Our Stars- How can you be rude to kids with cancer??? Seriously HOW?
9. Darcy... Something Borrowed/Blue- Mean Girl grown up. Even though her best friend stole her fiance, I STILL hated everything about her. Even when she went to London... even when she supposedly had her break-through... nope still hate her.
10. Kim... The Boyfriend List- She was Ruby's BFF before the whole Jackson thing. I just really really wanted to fight her for thinking that it was ok for her to steal Jackson from Ruby, but not ok for Ruby to want him back.... WTF?
11. Last One!! Nikki... The Rules of Survival- POS mother.
I swear I'm not a violent person... these people just bring out strong reactions in me!!
Can't wait to see what topics everyone else picked!!
PS- Don't forget to enter my GIVEAWAY of Cinder or My Fair Godmother!!

here's my my TTT (villains)
We both listed villains this week - go us! I hadn't considered Peter Van Houten, but I really like that choice. And yes so much to Dolores Umbridge and Miranda Priestly.
ReplyDeleteAwesome list!
Ooo Kim and Umbridge! I totally agree. Great list!
ReplyDeleteMiranda Priestly was so bad! Evil! OMG! :)I haven't read the book, but did watched the movie. Loved it.

Oh gooood, Dolores! I hated her soooo much I can't even tell. I was fine with Voldemort but she was just so nasty... Ugh.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
Haha, Dolores is on quite some lists this week! I can totally understand why. Voldemort is a villain indeed (I still like him, my good old Voldie), but he admits it. She's just plain nasty.
ReplyDeleteTTT @thedailyprophecy.
Interesting - I like Mel liked Voldemort. I thought he had a lot of layers to him and we got to see why he acted that way. Thats the sign of a good character ya know :) But I HATED Dolores. eeeesh.
ReplyDeleteOMG Totally agree on The boyfriend List thing! God, I thought she was such a hypocrite about the whole Jackson thing! Agree with all your choices ! :D

ReplyDeleteGreat topic choice!

I'm totally with you on Mrs. X! She really doesn't get that much better, although you understand her a little more, in the second Nanny book.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I totally agree with you about Dolores Umbridge. I can still feel the hate when I see her name.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my TTT. I definitely agree with Dolores Umbridge! She was awful!
ReplyDeleteSandy @ Somewhere Only We Know
AHH Umbridge still makes me so rage-y that woman is pure evil! Totally worse than Voldermort.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these books, which is probably a good thing. I already have enough fictional people I'm about to go homicidal on.

I totally have a stronger reaction to Umbridge than Voldemort. I think he's the "bigger" villain, but I'd bet you could find a larger number of people that legitimately HATED Umbridge (me included). And oh yes, Peter Van Houten, he made me want to punch things.
ReplyDeleteI think Jennifer Brown is hands down my favorite author. Bitter End, Hate List. Best books I've ever read. Cole was a douche, I wanted to murder him so much during the book and Darcy, I liked her character at first, then she just started getting annoying. I didn't read the book, but I WANT TO SO BAD, the movie was amazing.
