Review: Hard to root for male protagonist

Ok, sometimes an author can be a little too realistic. I came off of Dodger by Terry Pratchett and both stories are set in the same time period in the same city. Both stories are fairly realistic when it comes to the way life was, but this story just made me feel slightly sick to my stomach in the end. I just could not feel any connection to the male protagonist, and it made the entire book a difficult read. I understand that things were horrible, but sometimes you need a bit of good with the evils or the reader is left feeling lost and depressed at the end of a book.
