I like Garry of Blueline. He is loving and caring. Very strong and determiant. I also like Sinead. She is warm and kind.

Sinead's character remained nonconflicting in all of the worldlines. She stayed by Gary's side and had his back despite all odds proving herself to be a loyal friend. It made me take a special liking to her personality.

Seriously, everyone of the characters were awesome. Except for Michelle's brother of cause, like Gary said, 'he is a dick head.' Adam did an immensely great job developing such lovable characters; each and every one of them is my favorite. I can't say much for Michelle's brother though, I don't kinda like that guy.

There were several characters that I really liked. I loved Sinead in all the worldlines. She was a true gem, both as a friend and as a girlfriend to Gary. I felt like he wasn't really worthy of her.

Professor Leyton Buzzard was another character that I liked. He was clearly passionate about his subject and was patient and encouraging with his students. I loved how helpful he was to Gary and Sinead.

I felt a real admiration for Michelle's parents in the Blue Line; I was astounded with their willingness to forgive Gary, even without having the knowledge that we readers have of his innocence. They did not lash out at him even though it would have been completely understandable.

Lastly, I loved Betsy Cohen and how competent she was. She, like Buzzard, also showed an admirable willingness to help Gary and Sinead even after hearing their unbelievable story.

While I liked the Gary in the Blue Line, in all the other worldlines, I can't say that I liked his character very much. I also never really warmed up to Michelle, any version of her.

I like his best friend, Sinead. She was integral in all plots despite being a supplemental character. I really enjoyed the way she interacted with her mother.

Sinead O’Brien was my favourite. Her strong character is evident through her devotion to her family and her loyalty to Gary in each worldline. She studies physics in every worldline. Her flaw seems to link to her relationships and how she lets the men she’s dating treat her. I was pleased with how she handled these relationships in the end.

Is it weird to say that mine was blackline!Gary? This version of Gary was really dark and that scared me. But I find comfort that his life was a mess, much like mine. (No, I have no urge to murder someone, just so we're clear. :doh: :lol2: ) A small part of me wanted to see how he was going to get out of his misery. If that was weird, though, then blackline!Sinead is a close competitor.

I felt like I was riding the mainstream if my favorite was blueline!Gary. :lol2: Reading about redline!Michelle was a little weird and painful. To know more about her from a different worldline when she was suddenly taken from The Blue Line left me in a daze. It's like I also lost blueline!Michelle, which is also weird.

Are we talking about blueline!Sinead? I like her, too! Although, it was mainly because I was shocked about how good she was written as a female side character. From the very beginning, I felt like she had a whole backstory without even reading much yet. I like blackline!Sinead better, though. I think I saw the depth of her character there because of their darker storyline.

Hard same! :lol2: But I like how characters move and are shaped by dire circumstances so Gary and Sinead from The Black Line have a special place in my heart. I can kind of relate to them (minus the murder, of course). I'm scared I'm the only one who chose characters from this worldline, though. :lol2:

When I read about her other versions in other worldlines, I felt kind of sad. It's like I was grieving her untimely death too as I was getting to know the others. I wish we got to know more about her. I felt like we only had the base of her personality; we didn't have much that set her apart from the other Michelles.

Michelle was fun and outgoing. She was an ambitious young lady that was financially prudent and I particularly found her character interesting.

I get your point. I was able to understand this dark side of Gary's personality without agreeing with the crime he committed. Purely from reading the character as apart critical part to the story.

I guess you are right. In every onr of the worldlines, Sinead never weavered. She really is a loyal friend like you said. She is cool indeed.

Why no one's talking abou Professor Buzzard? I loved his character. I actually want to have some of his traits like being open-minded.Also the way he explains theories, it's so fascinating.
