I don't think Charon is quite right It was just a throwaway comment, nothing that I'd deducted from careful analysis of the text. ;) No, Gene doesn't make them cross. Actually, he sort of stops them from crossing--he wants to keep them in his world, because he's sad and lonely. *pats Gene*
But yeah, then they made him creepy. Yeah, he was alright-ish in the beginning--you kind of felt as if they were at least trying to make him sympathetic, even if they didn't quite manage, at least not for me--but any later sympathy Alex or any of the other characters showed towards him felt forced, because he was just not a sympathetic character.
