Loaded with Snark

Snarky, snarky, snarky. The protagonist doesn't like anyone very much, though he lusts after anything hunky and good-looking. He's as deep as a pool of spilled vinegar, and twice as sour. In the first 20 pages the author killed off one of the nuns, a person our hero didn't like (oops, that covers just about everyone), which means we didn't get to know her at all, or care that she died. But that's par for the course -- why should you care about any of the characters when the protagonist doesn't and the author gives you no reason to? I couldn't get past page 25.
