| Re: Point of View
I’d have to agree with JDP, reading in first person doesn’t tickle my fancy. Even in thoughts, for some reason. It just strikes a cord with me that doesn’t vibrate well. Though, that having been said, I have a book in my collection that is comprised of all diary entries. I love the book. It just wouldn’t be effective if written any other way.
The worst thing about POV is when it gets confused - not third person or the like, but when you have mutliple characters and the POV switches dramatically and without warning back and forth. All the he, she and the like can be confusing and ruin a good story. |
