Which point of view (POV) do you think is the best? Why? Which POV is the worst?

I hate 1st person, when there's multiple. Like in Allegiant. It was SO CONFUSING!

My theory is that any book that is a series with a first person narration the entire time until the last book, which is split up, the main character will die.
Proof:(view spoiler)[that girl I didn't like died in Reached, and Tris in Allegiant (hide spoiler)]

I like third person, and also when it switches through a bunch of characters. ( i.e Heroes of Olympus ) but its also really annoying because something suspenseful is happening to one character but then the author freaking changes to another character and i'm like eifnk efin.,. but i hate first person when theres more than one character because it gets confusing as f-ck (cough the Fifth Wave and Infinite Sea cough) and i forget it changes

Uh, I guess I prefer first person because it's a better connection to the MC, but third person is better for those of us who have trouble following story lines.

I'm not that picky, as long as it it well writes. I can't stand first person books that are badly writen. I like it when it's so well writen that the point of view doesn't even matte, cause you don't notes it.

Sometimes I consder skipping to their next POV and

Third person; I find that descriptions in first person can often seem over-the-top and unrealistic. I dunno, I feel like the author has to take on a simpler writing style when they write in first person.

Yes, although the genre comedy seems to work well with first person a lot of the time.

Definitely! And there are times first person works great, like in the Percy Jackson books. But in general, I tend to prefer third person because first person can become, well, over-the-top, Twilight style.
