I also found all of the characters to be pretty flat and lacking in depth, including Alex. What made me upset, though, was the author's treatment of the women in the story. Alex was basically incapable of being in the same room with a woman without objectifying her in some way. That makes me dislike him as a character, but that doesn't necessarily make me dislike the book. HOWEVER, what DOES make me dislike the book is the fact that nothing even hints that there's anything wrong with sexually objectifying every woman in his life. Plus, none of these women felt like real people at all. It was just so clear to me that they were just there to be props or sex objects for Alex. I don't know, the whole book kind of felt like it was some sort of fantasy/wish-fulfillment for the author.
I feel a little bad for being so negative, but those things bothered me quite a bit. The story and the ideas behind it definitely had some promise, though.
