Game of Thrones. I love the story, can't stand some of the characters. (spoilers for 1st 140 pages) [View all]

Has anyone else had this problem with this series. I'm only a 140 pages in and I really like it so far, but a lot of the characters come across as terrible people. I keep hoping half of them die. I like Bran, Jon Snow,Tyrion, and Arya. That is pretty much it, well except for Daenerys who I like and I find her husband's culture interesting.

All of the other characters come across as very selfish to me, which I suppose is the mark of a good author since that makes the more human, but I just don't like a lot of them. The way Jon's stepmother treated him when he came to say goodbye to Bran really annoyed me, oh and the crown prince just needs to die already, spoiled little brat. Anyway aside from these problems I'm really liking the book and was just curious to see if anyone else had this problem.
