A good example how one may not like or connect to the protagonist, but still be interested and invested in their fate. I'm reading the Agent Pendergast series by Preston & Child and am finishing book 3 at the moment. I actually dislike Pendergast, or would if he was an actual person. He's an awful snob and moreover, almost a total opposite of me in every way (temper, character, preferences etc.). We have practically nothing in common. But he's interesting and I like to read about him. I want to know what happens in subsequent books. He engages my emotions. It helps that I generally like most of the other characters in the books, otherwise Pendergast would get really annoying pretty fast.
