I liked that the worst people in this book are more or less the main characters! I prefer characters who are acknowledged as terrible, but are still human, to ones who are held up as supposedly perfect paragons (and Jack does not impress me with how quickly he shrugs off the first attempted abduction/rape of Diana with "Oh I don't know. I dare say we are none of us exactly saints." <-- Actual quote. WHAT. Even his friend is taken aback. This is not romantic hero material in my book).
