Dreamer   | 5128 comments What narrative point of view do you prefer in books? 1st person or 3rd person? Share your thoughts here!

Dreamer   | 5128 comments I, personally,prefer 1st person narrators. The story is more touching this way, since we see it from the character's point of view :)

I like both but it honestly depends on the writing style... some writing styles work better with third-person narrators and some work better with first-person

It also depends on how many narrators there are, bc if there's more than one pov character but they're all in first-person I will definitely get confused.

I totally agree with what u said about seeing from the character's pov, most of the time when I like a book with a third-person narrator it's the type of writing that still lets you see into their thoughts.

Shawna Finnigan (sugoishawn) | 1692 comments I prefer 1st person because it often flows easier and it allows me to connect to the main character more. It takes a really good writer to pull off 3rd person well.
