I think all of them were portrayed as very human and each had their own flaws but, personally, I most disliked the protagonist. I felt like Alec grew up a lot (even if he was very childish at the beginning)!
This is very difficult to respond to. I did not have any problem with the men, I only saw humans with flaws and It was fascinating to read.

I felt like that way about the protagonist. I couldn't see any character development and his decisions were always the worse one.

I am unable to be more specific about who I disliked. However, if we are making a comparison, the protagonist is the character I liked the least.

The narrator was my least favorite. He was selfish and very childish, which I didn't appreciate, given that he had a wife and children to consider

I can not say exactly that I disliked someone. But if we are doing a comparison, then the protagonist is the person I least liked. But it does not matter as all the characters came out to be better men.

There's no least it simply be the protagonist because he was the most described character by the author and the other characters seemed to be Supporting characters or has minor roles. Yes we knew about their lives but not thoroughly and from his point of view.
Life is hard on its own so let's make it easier for each other if we could.

I don't have a least character. They all had challenges as one point or the other. At any point, I grew tired of one of them but they were all okay and fun.

I will give Alec that trophy of least liked. He was too childish and brash due to immaturity. He actually did not contribute much to the story. But know that some mothers do have them we have to accept him just the way he is.

At first I would've said Alec but I also noticed that he grew a lot along the way.

I think that would be Alec, I did not like the way he thought about life or the kind of feelings he had about life, but over the time, he got to grow.

I agree that the protagonist Alec was the lest of my favourites he had lots of irritating behaviours that even after he changed and became better at the end of the book i still just did'nt like him.
