What are your views on Nick and his character?
Also was there any part of the story you did not like or preferred it to be different?

Lol, definitely explained answer than all the others and it does help understand why you feel so. I understand the last line you said. There are many books which in order to have a happy ending have fake excuses and 'forgiving' which is unforgiving actually :/Skillian wrote:He is kind of a d*bag, but he didn't deserve what he got either... not to such an extent at least. As far as him being stupid... in reference to the things she planned out... she was so meticulous and he was so blind sided... I don't feel that contributs as evidence to him being unintelligent. However, what kind of a moron is hooking up with another woman while under investigation? *face palm* I will admit though... there is a small part of me that felt like he did get what he had coming to him. A lot of people go into marriage with the facade of being one person and after the ceremony the mask falls off. Granted she was a total nutter... it does hold some satisfaction to read a book that actually punishes a character who commits adultery instead of glorifying and making excuses for it.

He was a happy idiot. He should have opened his eyes. He was very dumb.
Not all women, but many women are always a step further in a relationship. If you cheat on them, they will know before you know it.

That makes me think until what point does one have control over what one does. After a while, how do you know if you like noodles becauseyou like or because he/she made you like it?tlgabelman wrote:I agree with Himmelslicht, Nick was portrayed as "the usual guy." It was painful to see such a self involved male character be worked to the nth degree by his female lead. I honestly do think he had an original thought of his own. But the mastery of Amy was that she was so good at manipulation everything he did, he thought he had control over, when in fact it was always her.
Until what point do you know that you developed the habit of being tidy for yourself or because you've been pressured to do it because of your significant other?
Of course these are tiny bits of the problem in general, but in the hands of a really smart and devious person, one could become a toy.
She played him like a fool since the beginning. She wanted a human pet because she has always been Amazing Amy. And she got one, even when he started to slip away, all she had to do was to find the right leash to chain him to her. It's weird as hell but it worked.
