Yes, Ted was great. Just so awful you had to be pleased with him in that Housian way of "God, I wish I could get away with saying/doing that." I also couldn't decide whether I liked Ted better because I knew it was a character far-off from what Stephen was; I mean, The Liar's MC was preeeeetty close to autobiographical, but Ted is a critic, a and a failure, things I know Stephen is not. But so what, I then ask myself. If you didn't "know" who the author was then you wouldn't care how much he was stretching himself.
It's a whole big thing. But I can't help it: I liked this book more for whatever reason is most true.
