I mean, to each their own but that’s kind of the point of Hobbs: he’s an Arthurian hero, not necessarily a great person so much as a person destined for greatness. I think in the latter part of the book, where he’s screwed up badly and wants to make up for it, that’s where you start to emphasize with him even as you understand he simply cannot save himself anymore.

I guess no book is for everyone, though personally I dislike the movie far, far more than any feeling I have towards the book tbh.
