I especially love seeing the same scene or action from different POVs as it is fun to see how differently something can be interpreted by several characters. However, when it isn't well-done, it's very distracting because when you are constantly trying to figure out a POV change, that just throws you right out of the story.

The problem is that sometimes the author does it wrong, and at the end I don't know who is talking or I get tired of reading the book because I can't follow it.<br /><br />spav05(at)gmail(dot)comSpavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01624345166962744896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696467911899848245.post-41291667408388381382010-01-27T00:05:57.359+01:002010-01-27T00:05:57.359+01:00Have I mentioned lately how much I love your revie...Have I mentioned lately how much I love your reviews?

There are different reasons for both. I don't like secondary characters to overwhelm the main story. But a good little side romances (e.g. in some books by Lori Foster) are actually kind of nice... Seeing what villains think or do... it's okay if that doesn't take too many pages away from the romance.<br />chayanna82(at)hotmail(dot)comMaijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10488447744786260828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696467911899848245.post-49959939089096534172010-01-26T22:52:34.876+01:002010-01-26T22:52:34.876+01:00I Have Read The Twilight Saga By Stephanie Meyer A...I Have Read The Twilight Saga By Stephanie Meyer And Most Of The Series Is In Her Main Character Bella's Point Of View But Book 3 Os The Series Has Bella And Her Best Friend Jacob's Point Of View.

One side of a situation is always biased and never tells the whole "truth." Having multiple characters take over the naration is a nice change of pace, especially if there are strong secondary characters. <br /><br />Honestly though, as long as the book is a romance novel and engaging, it doesn't matter what point of view it is written from. :) I'll read it anyway!Angeliquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987105989810328105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696467911899848245.post-86852830459284569482010-01-26T18:20:16.787+01:002010-01-26T18:20:16.787+01:00I definitely like books with multiple POV's.

I blew right through the review w/o reading because I'm in the midst of Hard to Hold right now.<br /><br />I have absolutely NO issues w/multiple POV's. As long as the author doesn't let them overwhelm the story. There's one author in particular who I got almost to the end of the story and I was still having to go back to the beginning to be like, "Wait, who is Michael again?!" Too many characters, too many POV's can be challenging to write, and just as challenging to keep track of when reading.Katihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08178354927628992485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696467911899848245.post-58147189509508634902010-01-26T12:51:12.465+01:002010-01-26T12:51:12.465+01:00I adore multiple POVs - they allow me to feel more...I adore multiple POVs - they allow me to feel more for the other characters whilst making the book flow more seamlessly in the right place and at the right time. It makes the story more realistic and hints at the other unique personalities that may or may not get their own book.

I skipped the bits and pieces of Saint and PJ but from your last remark I gather that you loved PJ and that quote of Saint *thud* Oh yes, can I have him to go ;) <br />As for your question; I'm pro multiple POV. I experience, while reading, a deepening of the story, to make certain actions/thoughts or feelings more understandable from various characters, no two people look at something the same way and IMO creates a very dynamic storytelling. One that keeps me focused and completely immersed in the book. In the end it gives that well rounded view on the story as a whole that can be very exhilarating to read.<br /><br />PS: Don't enter me in the giveaway, I just found out Chris is on its way to me YAY.Leontinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11772385054579881436noreply@blogger.com
