The characters are pretty forgettable, Nothing too special about them, but I get the feeling that it was in the author's intentions to make them as human and normal as possible. Completely different from the movie's '83 adaptation, I think it's worth reading for the ending (being one of the most traumatizing of his books)
And because it is after all, part of the classics.
