It's about time we started having a "heated debate". So I thought I'd post a couple of new topics to get the ball rolling.
Who, in your opinion, is the best literary/fictional villain?? Opinions could be clouded by films and suchlike but we'll have to live with that. :lol:
My choice would be Captain Dudley Smith from the James Ellroy series of Detective/Crime books (LA Confidential, The Big Nowhere,Etc). What a bastard!! He postively resonates with evil, sleaze and degradation. He moves through LA's seedy underworld like a shark preying on anyone weak or stupid enough to get in his way. Twisted, manipulative, greedy - class character.
Impress me Bookworld!! :D
ps I realise there is a typo in the topic heading. D'oh!! :P
