Re: Which Character you like from 'Wild World'?

I think the obvious answer here is Steve. He made for a wonderful protagonist. Steve was honest, loving and honorable with a pure heart. He had great intentions of doing right by Roxy and getting rid of corruption in the police force. It was hurtful the way he was treated by his fellow officers, but the hardest betrayal was that of Roxy. Steve was always around to hold Roxy's hand, he as willing to have a whole career change just so that he could shine in her eyes and she was quite unappreciative. In the end, Steve forgave her as he still loved her and blamed himself for her betrayal. We see that he is anguished when he shot and killed Norvell and didn't consider an "on the job" kill like his peers.

Steve is definitely the best character in the book. Instead of just talking about changes, he actually has the courage to do something about it. He almost lost everything along the way but he never give up. I like it on how he fought smartly, collecting evidence and giving it to someone who can do something about it.

Which character caught your interest the most, and why?
The answer is obviously Steve. He is a man that is different from all other men. He always stood by his conviction no matter what.

It's Steve. He was positive thinker and a man who hates corruption. He was brilliant and determinant. I liked him choosing to be a police officer rather than following his father's will. He loved change!

I appreciate what you say about Steve. But Heather is by far my favorite character. She's an incidental one, but she's the ultimate flower child, and her words are wise!

My favourite character is Sergeant Durk. I wish we got to know more about him but the little I know about him from his appearance in the book is truly admirable

Steve caught my interest the most. That was because of his strong personality and his will of steel. He is a good man who was determined to do good things.

I loved Steve most because he was just a good man. He had his flaws, but he had a wonderful heart. He also added spice to the story and I lived him for that.

Steve, is after all the main character but that's not just makes him a personal favourite of mine. His presence was very impactful and I liked the sort of man he was as it was somewhat inspiring.

I liked the character Steve, how determined he was. He was treated badly at the police academy. At some point, he got ambushed in the locker room and beaten up for doing the right thing, but he never gave up on his goal to bring change to the system.

To me, Steve was my favorite character. His determination to fight corruption, his bravery to exposes those who are corrupt in the police department, and his love to his friend mostly Roxy is what I admire about him.

I also really liked Steve. He seemed like a genuine guy that was just trying to do the best for those he loved and he wanted a better world for everyone. I also really liked Crowley, even though he didn't get that much on page time, but he also just seemed like an older father figure that wanted to help but also keep his nose clean so he could get back safely to his family every night.

I don't think I have a favorite character. Steve was an interesting and well-developed character to read about but for him to give up his ambition to be with Roxy and some other decisions he made was not satisfying for me.
