Did I like Arthur Less as a person? No. Do I think Arthur Less is supposed to be a likable character? Also no. I honestly think that Less is supposed to be a shitty character who is unlikable and the author seems very self aware of that fact throughout the novel based on a conversation between Less and another character in I believe the 2nd to last chapter. But I did find him very enjoyable to read about although he represents a very shitty side of the gay community that I hate. 

I did really enjoy reading this story and thought it had a lot of good funny moments in it.
