I think everyone that read Zona should know that their sexual excapades during the expedition was scientifically explained and shown that it cannot be easily controlled. I don't see that as a flaw on Grant. He was a good protagonist.

I think that Grant was a good protagonist because as humans, we all have flaws and he fell for Irina before he knew not to trust her. He showed his good will by the way he ran to the aid of the crew who threw them out of the camp after laying hold on the alcohol.

Grant did well enough. But I think I liked him better in the beginning of the book. The more I read, the less I liked him. He disappointed me a couple of times. I didn't want him to date Irina at l.

He is not outspoken and kind of reserved.

No, I didn't find Grant a good protagonist. Even though he is likable and cautious to find his uncle. He wastes his time on mindless matters. Grant also doesn't solve the obvious clues like Yuri and the car accident. I dislike his carefree attitude and can be mistaken as a protagonist that doesn't care. He keeps forgetting papers and events. I wanted to get in the book, shake him and tell him to open his eyes and observe.

He is a good protagonist, but he lacks adventure experience and has not been exposed to it as a result. It made him appear frail.

I enjoyed Grant as the protagonist in the story. He played his part well and was complex.

Grant in the story is a wonderful protagonist. From the beginning, you could see a man playing out his role well.

I enjoyed Grant as the main character. I fell in love with him and was interested to see how it ended.

Grant does seem like a good protagonist. At first, he does seem careless and unable to handle the secrets surrounding Zona, but I found that he was able to handle himself.

He was slow witted, had trust issues and was careless. I was not a huge fan of him.

Dr. Grant was a superb protagonist. I cannot find the right words to describe him but all through the story, i rooted for him and practically fell in love with his character. He was a lady's man, brave, charismatic and confident. His relationship with Irina was very worrisome to me as she was not to be trusted. Inspite of this love entanglement as a good protagonist, he was able to manage his information and association to avoid being suspected. I vote for him as the best protagonist among others.

Grant is most definitely a good protagonist that showed both love and strength. One thing I also really liked was the fact that we got to see his growth.

Grant is like the main character who makes the story go forward, but he's not very strong. As the story goes on, he becomes even less strong.
