I don't like them as they appear too strongly stereotyped. Of all three Franklin is the one I like the most. He's most well written of the characters but that's not saying much compared to Niko, Or Johnny.

Niko had an enthralling story due to how tragic he was, and how he aimed to pursue something better. I find Johnny as my favorite as his tale is one of having to adapt to radically changing times, and the inner turmoil of having to face your own brothers. Seeing Trevor beat Johnny, the once strong man was sickening to me. If Johnny had stayed away from the haunting drug issue he would have disposed of Trevor, I believe.

My favorite of all characters, by a pure landslide, is John Marston. I still find him to be the most intriguing character in all of gaming.
