[Elanor]

Are people picking characters they dislike (as in, wouldn't want to spend time with them) or characters they think are badly written? I can hardly think of any characters that I wouldn't want in the book, the baddies and dislikeable ones are essential, and add to the tension. But I do find Celeborn very dull. He never seems to do much, just stands around in the background muttering the odd line here and there.
