Who is your favorite villain from a book?
gameofthrones.wikia.com
As most who follow me know, I'm really into George R.R. Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice series. A character I really like in this series is named Sandor Clegane, or The Hound. He's technically a villain because he's ruthless and brutal, killing people in horrible ways and being an all-around douche bag, but he's a great example of a dynamic villain. He has strange, unexplained compassion for random characters we care about as readers (including Sansa) and we're told his history, which is tragic. Despite his evilness, he's intriguingly...sympathetic. I like him a lot.

How about you? Which book villain is your favorite?

  1. I've never read the Fire and Ice series. I know what you mean, though, about a character not being ALL evil.

  12. Ah, the sympathetic villain! Gotta love those!
    I haven't read the books as I started the tv show first and I can never read a book after I see the movie or watch the tv show! I'm weird that way! Great choice though!
