I will just say that Saruman is my top choice. For all the hopeless reasons that you listed above and the fact that he was once a White Wizard. I think it's always devastating when one who was good -- really good -- gives up and gives in to the Dark Side. Anyway, those are my two cents worth. :)Sara Bullahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01062844172482215376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6509009608138236950.post-48245376016483774662011-10-28T09:29:58.448-06:002011-10-28T09:29:58.448-06:00Those are some of my favorite dystopians too!

Family, friends, his or her way of life if she chooses something other than what the society wants. Makes for an amazing story.
