The Ultimate Choice, a novel that opens with a woman who "volunteers" to go on a game show where she ask questions to help the audience choose who will receive her harvested organs. During a disruption, she escapes and becomes an illegal, hunted by the police and forced to live in the shadows. I liked the premise, I liked the characters. Hell, I LOVED the ending, warped as it was. Why the 3 stars? There were just a few things that really threw me off. For example, and I saw this in another review, how does the protagonist get pregnant, give birth to a boy, and still not understand how a man pees? Granted, it didn't affect the plot much, but it did make me stop and reread the passage as I was certain I'd misunderstood. Here and there I ran into similar instances where I just had a hard time believing actions, reactions, thoughts, etc. Good book, just needed a little more polish.
