I like Kinsey Millhone from the Sue Grafton ABC detective books. She is a character that really made me care what was happening with her, by the last book it felt like someone you have known for years and were comfortable with

Bridget Jones has got to be a favourite, we've all got a little bit of Bridget in us.
