I don't understand why this book is rated so high.The reason for my low rating is very simple: I hate Riley. She is not a strong woman, she is annoying and obnoxious. She is reckless with other people's lives and never thinks beyond her own comfort. With her utter disregard for logic I don't understand why she isn't already dead. Anything positive that came out of her actions were simply because the author wrote it that way, all fluke and horse-shoe-up-the-assness. If I can take a blaster to her head, I would.The way the other characters react to her was silly too. She should have been beat to the pulp and used as mince meat in the first chapter. I don't understand why her captors, who were willing to enslave kings and commit mass murders, were bending over backwards to please her becuase she ran her mouth off at them. They should have throw her in the meat grinder instead.I know this author has a strange obsession with virginal leads, but this lead really should have stayed a virgin because Sarafin gentlemen, I have some advice for you, don't stick your dick in crazy.I did not finish this book because I didn't want her to have a happy ending, in my mind, they dropped her back on Earth and her ex boss buried her alive. I will not to continuing this series. I really wanted to like this but I just don't get it. I have no clue why Vox would want Riley. The girl is a nightmare. She's a ditzy blonde who giggles and worries about her luggage instead of survival - I get she's meant to be a 'strong' female character but so often authors seem to think that 'strong' translates to ball-busting-bitch. It's incredibly frustrating. Also, there's a mention of characters from the authors other brooks - Carmen, Mel but not much explanation of who they were. Very confusing. DNF.
What do You think about Choosing Riley (2000)?
all i have to say is: I LOVE VOX D'ROJAH!!!
