Top 10 Meanest Males in Books

Question: Top 10 Meanest Males?


Answer: Two weeks ago was ladies night, so now its time for the men.   


  1. Zaphod Beeblebrox (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) – Honestly, it’s just so much fun to say Zaphod Beeblebrox’s name not to include Zaphod Beeblebrox.  Zaphod Beeblebrox.
  2. Assef (The Kite Runner) – From boyhood to adult, Assef was soooo horrible.  Sweet, sweet sling shot...
  3. Max Devore (Bag of Bones) – The wheelchair scene by the lake seriously took about 3.5 years off our lives.
  4. George Wickham (Pride and Prejudice) – Besides being a compulsive liar, he has very few other redeeming traits.
  5. Heathcliff (Wuthering Heights) – Yes, he loved Catherine with all the violent passion his selfish little heart could muster. Bla, bla, bla.  He was still a jerk (wow, we may need to include ourselves for number 6 after that mean spirited commentary).
  6. Acheron Hades (The Eyre Affair) – This is one nasty villain and the face of literary crime.  What he did to Jane Eyre was.... well.  
  7. President Snow (The Hunger Games) – He oversaw the Hunger Games.  Enough said.
  8. Waleran Bigod (The Pillars of the Earth) – It’s hard not to pick one of the males from the Hamleigh clan for this, but we thought we’d change things up. 
  9. Uriah Heep (David Copperfield) – Uriah is a heap of... well, he’s not really that nice of a person.
  10. Captain Hook (Peter Pan) – Honestly we were having a little trouble choosing number 10 so we thought we'd throw in one of the most infamous pirates of all time.

Have a great week and head on over to The Broke and the Bookish to join the fun!

  1. Love your list. Zaphod Beelblebrox is a great name and he is a little bit (big bit) jerky. Can't believe I didn't think to add Acheron Hades. Uriah Heep and Heethcloff also made my list.

  3. I used a Ken Follett Character too, but mine was from World Without End...there were some nasty, greedy characters in those books, weren't there?

  9. Assef and Heathcliff are great choices! Assef made that book hard to read. I believe I yelled at him many times throughout the book.

  10. totally agree with 4 and 5. I never got Heathcliff as a romantic figure. He's just a big old d-bag honestly!

  13. Heathcliff! I think he wins the jerk award. Almost everyone listed him. Lol.

  14. I've seen Zaphod on a few lists, but I can't say that I agree (except about how fun his name is to say). I found him to be less of a jerk and more of just a self-centered person who doesn't understand the universe *doesn't* revolve around him.

    As for Uriah Heep...*shudder*. That man is so unbelievably sketchy. I can't even think of his name with a shiver running down my spine. He just...there aren't words for how disturbing he is.

  15. Ooh... I totally forgot about Captain Hook! Nice list. :)

  16. I haven't read too many of the books on your list this week (even some that I should have read for class). President Snow is a creeper though. I think she describes him as smelling like blood, which is super yuck.

    Check out my list here.

  17. ugh President Snow, too mean!! Also agree with Waleran Bigod but i think I would have chosen Willaim Hamleigh from that same book. He was pure evil!
