"Quest: Finding Freddie: Reflections from the Other Side" written by Thomas. The protagonist, Thomas, in Richard Spradlin's well-crafted narrative successfully negotiates the difficulties of looking for a customer in Nigeria during the 1970s. The story is enhanced by the thoughtful creation of the supporting cast, who offer a variety of viewpoints and levels of depth. But the narrative doesn't provide a clear explanation for Freddie and Ruth, his wife. Because of their complexity and versatility, the protagonists are both likable and essential to the story.

Each character was well-developed and had depth appropriate to their role; none was superfluous.

While reading the book, I didn't feel the need to learn about a particular more than what was written in the book. So yeah, I think the characters were sufficiently developed by the author.

The protagonist, Freddie, and the supporting cast are relatable and endearing, making it easier for readers to connect with them on a deeper level. The book's ability to portray these characters in a way that resonates with readers support the story's themes of perseverance.

I feel that only the main character, Richard, was fully developed in the book. Freddie's character wasn't explored in depth, and the same goes for his wife, Ruth. The driver and the bodyguard had enough development for their roles as minor characters.

The characters in this book were well-fleshed out, although I would have appreciated a deeper dive into Freddie's personality and backstory. Nevertheless, I found the remaining characters to be richly detailed and thoroughly developed, making them relatable and engaging to read about.

The characters in this book were well-developed overall, although I would have appreciated a deeper dive into Freddie's personality and motivations. Nevertheless, the remaining characters were fleshed out with ample detail and description, leaving me satisfied with their portrayal.
