It's true that even though she was in completely unfamiliar circumstances she wasn't afraid to stick up for herself. Thank you for your comments!

Out of the 3 characters you mentioned, I guess I'd be closer to Kelly considering she is a victim of the circumstances. I wish I'd be closer to Rex since he managed to bypass his programming, but I'm not sure I'd be able to have his strength. :) Out of the entire book, I'd probably be professor James Duchovney and teach interpretive history to a hopefully much more attentive class of students. :)

Ha, ha! Great comments and a good choice in Duchovney! Thank you.

I think I related more to Kelly than anyone. I'm just as out of my element in life as she is. However, I will have more time to work out my place in this world.

Wow, I can see that many people here identify with Kelly too. I think that the whole plot took a different turn when she entered into the scene.

I liked Agent Silver the most because he was a fighter. Even though he had the decks stacked against him, I think he managed to come out on top, which greatly endeared him to me.

Yes, perseverance is usually an endearing quality don't you think?

I can identify with Kelly, mainly because she is very innocent and she plays a key role to the whole story.

I hadn't considered her innocence as being crucial to the story, I think you are correct! Thank you for commenting!

Many people chose Rex and for good reason. Never cease being compassionate! I believe it is a vital quality. Thank you for commenting!
