Book Blogger Hop --- it's all about the bad guys.......

Somehow, I got partway into my day and realized I had almost forgotten to Hop! So, quickly correcting that now.....

Today's question comes from Mia, who asks: "Who's your all-time favorite book villain?"

Easy!! It's actually two people: Mr. Croup and Mr. Vandermar from Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. Croup is verbose and pompous, and actually pretty funny (if you don't mind snarky, slightly disturbing humor). Vandemar barely speaks at all and when he does, he's blunt. The two of them present a menacing pair that, while I wouldn't like to meet them in a dark alley, actually completely intrigue me.

I'm looking forward to discovering some villains this weekend around the Hop! Happy Friday, everyone!!!

P.E. said...: I haven't read many of Neil Gaiman's books, so I'm unfamiliar with your choices. However, they do look like good choices from the picture you posted!

Thanks for visiting and I'm just hopping by,
