One you couldn't stand? What did the mix of the personalities do for the storyline? -------------------- *Angelica to Jack - "How is it we can never meet without you pointing something at me?"*

Sala has a curmudgeonly worldview; he's a bit gloomy, but he also takes a lot of pride in his profession as a photojournalist. The things he says make me laugh. Always the harbinger of doom. But it's so over the top that you can't take him seriously. There were no characters I couldn't stand, but HST gives his slant on characters he dislikes, so you dislike them, too. For instance, pg. 49: " For my money, Zimburger should not only have been penned up like a dog, but shot like a mad one." Who couldn't agree with that? All the self-important, greedy Americans who came to PR to rape it's pristine landscape with hotels. I could go on, but I'll stop. There's a social commentary in all of HST's writing - and I tend to share his opinions. Also, Chenault, though I didn't necessarily like her (and I doubt if she really liked herself much) , as I've said before, I understand her completely. --------------------

On the other hand, he does seem to be quite proud of his career accomplisments. And at times, he is just so darn passive and flaccid you almost feel compelled to prod him with a stick. lol Yeoman makes my skin crawl. And not only because he is abusive toward Chenault. I found it hard to find many redeeming qualities in the man. Seems like the type you wouldn't trust - that you'd be on your guard against. Something about him really rubbed me the wrong way. --------------------
