And I pulled for him so hard. For his painful attempts to change
Yeah, this. And he can change. Not much, and not very far, but he is trying so hard, and when he gets those tiny tiny little steps you (I) just want to cheer so much! This is what distinguishes him from, oh, Edward. (Uh. I checked out my brain halfway through Twilight; did Edward ever have any sort of character development at all from stalker 100-year-old boy? No, didn't think so.)
Related: see also my review where I have this whole rant/rave on what SRB is doing with her different approaches to humanity and what it means to be human. (This is charlie_ego on LJ, by the way, using the DW invite you so kindly provided.) I think she is doing some really great stuff, down in the depths of the book where it's not necessarily immediately obvious, that I don't see nearly enough of in YA, even some of the stuff I quite like.
