I just felt so sorry for Glenna

Same here. A very wounded, tragic, flawed, human character, I thought. Much like Ig. I somewhat related and sympathized/empathized with both (though not being exactly like Glenna, since she has the more "acting out" type personality whereas I'm more shy and quiet, except online lol). Changing your situation is hard. When he asked what was keeping her here and she said "you", I totally understood where she was coming from. Could have seen her and Ig together (and they were together, at least casually romantically and living together, in the book) if he hadn't fallen so much for Merrin first and still been holding a torch for her. The book went into even more detail about Glenna. So yeah, great character. Anyone who'd think of her as cheap, trash, a slut, etc, I think it says more about them than it does about the character.

Plus Kelli Garner isn't hard to look at either...even when pigging out on doughnuts...I wouldn't be able to tell her 'no' either ;-)

To all who felt sorry for Glenna, if you're a Joe Hill (author) fan, a character that I thought resembled her was Maggie from NOS4A2. Any Maggie fans here? Interested in your thoughts on that character (and I wonder who'd play her in an adaptation). If you're a fan of Glenna, definitely check out the book NOS4A2 for Maggie, too, if you haven't. A minor character all things considered, gets about the same amount of book-time as Glenna in Horns, but very likeable and memorable IMO. Another very flawed, human character like Glenna and Ig.

She's possibly the Joe Hill character I identify with most, so that should tell you all you need to know about me - Pity Sluts unite ;-) Probably not "normal" for a straight dude to identify with a lesbian chick so much, but there you have it lol Just thought she was really cool in her own, quirky, tragic "manic pixie dream girl" kinda way. Also kinda the female equivalent of Stuttering Bill from It (Losers Club ftw)...the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, eh? :-)

Yes, I hoped for Ig to survive and that she'd be able to rebuild him, but alas no.

I do feel bad for the movie character because she didn't end up the same way she does in the book. Her ending in the book is much better in my opinion. I'm disappointed that they left that out of the movie!

When she told him the next morning that he'd only made love to her because he was drunk and imagined her to be merrin ..... I thought he could have made sober love to her a second time, sort of thank you sex....he owed her that much.

She was cool as Hell. Anyone who likes giving hand jobs and slamming donuts as much as her is awesome in my book! Plus, she was smoking hot.

Luckily, Iggy talked some sense into her and she's probably gonna take his advice and go off and leave her Podunk town.

I sort of laughed when every (heterosexual) guy one by one confessed that he loved Merrin, because there were literally only two girls in town. No wonder there were so many dudes who went gay. But, yeah, I also felt sorry for Glenna, though. Only two females in town and no one wanted to have sex with her?
