He is the kind of man everybody would hate except psychopaths and serial killers. You must be really sick or very holy to love a child molester and greedy destructor of heritage.

He's disgusting and a loathsome character in every way.

I hated him from the beginning, because of his arrogance and the way he treats other, but at the end, I was convinced that he was a totally despicable man.

I disliked him very much. He was a person who holds an upper position in his workplace but in real life, he is a disgusting man. I hate this kind of person.

I never liked him at all because of his bad character of preying on young girls like Sarah.

Fletcher is a disgusting character and there should be no argument about that. Nothing forgives preying on innocent children, and the fact that he was married to Ruth, who is herself not that good a person, only made him that much worse.

I don't think we're supposed to like him, or even really give him a chance. I don't see how he deserves that chance. He's definitely a villain in the story.

I also agree with Amagine about Ruth. She seemed slightly surprised when she found out about Sarah and Fletcher's advances, but it makes me wonder how much she even tried to find out why her daughter ran away at a young age.
I couldn't sum up my opinions any better then this! But I will say that I wish I knew more about Fletcher. Is it possible to be just 100% an awful person? Or are there any redeeming qualities that could lend reason as to why Ruth was so blind? Or, in contrast to that thought, perhaps he is so much the villain that even Ruth is being taken advantage of and she was too busy dealing with her own struggle with him to realize what he was doing to others?

True. Ruth talked about both Becky and Sarah as if they were very rebellious, trouble-makers, and just wanted to do whatever they wanted. I was disgusted by Ruth and Fletcher because I felt like she had an idea what he did to her daughter. When Fletcher tried to repeat his bad habit again by pursuing Sarah, Ruth just looked the other way; she was in denial.

I fact, I was very sorry for Sarah when I found out that he was her step grandfather; but even more sorry for Tom when it was later revealed that Fletcher had influence over Tom at Tom's workplace. He is indeed a villain.

Exactly my thought...
Thanks for the comment
