Denny (Camino Island)

Denny is a character in John Grisham's novel titled Camino Island. Denny is a thief and murderer that engaged in a heist with four others.

Good Qualities

 * 1) He and his heist team had a stunningly clever and well-crafted plan to steal widely old manuscripts, and they nearly got away with it. If one of them hadn't bled on the scene they would be home free.
 * 2) In the audio-book version, January LaVoy portrays him very well.
 * 3) Denny will go at great measures to get what he wants, and though his methods are questionable he surely has an iron will.
 * 4) He is really good at intimidating people, and appears to get others to listen to him generally.
 * 5) He is mildly well fleshed out in personality, and is present in much of the beginning of the novel.
 * 6) He is somewhat memorable, if you like criminal characters. He is the most reoccurring criminal character in the book, and he keeps the plot interesting.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) It's hard to sympathize with a murderous criminal.
 * 2) He's not too present in the story compared to the main characters, and somehow becomes irrelevant later on.
 * 3) His arrest is abrupt and unsatisfactory; he didn't even get a concrete ending.
 * 4) Him and a friend intimidating lawyers is objectively a bad idea.
