But that's just your opinion. You're making it sound like absolute truth. Just for the record, there are some of your good/bad things that I place in the opposite category (and a couple of things I agree with), or I don't mind at all. Like a winy protagonist - as long as the dialogue is/was consistent with his character, and the changes he'd go through, I'd actually enjoy it. Now, if the dialogue really WAS consistent is another chapter. One that won't be covered here.
