A Song of Ice and Fire Question
Am I the only one that likes Theon?
In A Dance With Dragons. He's a very interesting character and I really feel bad for him. I mean ... argh, I hate Ramsay.

Nope, I like him too. In fact, he is probably my favourite character in ASOIAF.

I've come across a few fans who like Theon. I think the majority of fans' opinion of him depends on when you ask them.
My feelings about the character are complex. I didn't have much of an opinion about him in the first book, neither liking nor disliking him. Like almost everyone, I think, I then hated him in the second book for betraying Robb, taking Winterfell and killing those boys - it didn't matter that they weren't actually Bran and Rickon when he was willing to kill 2 boys of around the same age.
Later on, when he was revealed as Reek, I pitied him. It was almost as if he'd been redeemed as a villain by putting him at the mercy of a worse villain. He was starting to redeem himself by the end of the books as they stand, and I'm sure that he'll have a full redemption arc by the final conclusion (if those final books are ever published).
