Do you like reading books with multiple protagonists?

[Mollymae]

I enjoy reading a book with multiple story lines. I would really prefer it if the multiple protagonists came together in some way at the end. It's always interesting to see different points of view around a particular subject, in this case Adele.

I like books with multiple protagonists. It adds to the complexities of the story, as well as develop the plot further. I love how these characters interact with one another, and how their conflicts resonate with each other. I've seen this approach in a lot of romance novels and horror stories, which, of course, adds to the value of the book if done well.

Yes. I want to see multiple of protagonists not only because I can be amazed many times but I want to see how they handle struggles and problems in different perspective. Even though it's much harder to read, I find it interesting to see different stories in one book

I do enjoy multiple POVs, but the author has to be very careful in threading their lives together somehow, else he or she will lost me soon. There are a few very good authors that can do it flawlessly, but many can't.

[Kinnera]

Not so much. If it is a non-linear storyline, a resounding yes. But otherwise, I feel like the story jumps through too many hoops and doesn't quite get to the end the way it intended.

I think multiple protagonists are only interesting to read when used effectively. For example, their separate stories should tie together in some way and form one whole narrative at the end preferably. If they are all separate then I don't enjoy reading it. Sometimes multiple protagonists can be confusing, especially if the point of view switches.

I always find it a little bit difficult to get immersed in the story when there are multiple points of view and stories. It depends a lot on the quality of writing and how often it jumps from one to the other. In this book it was well balanced between them all, so it gave the story more depth

I agree. most of the time, I experience difficulty in immersing with the characters of a story with multiple protagonists but it works well in the X-men story. You love every protagonist in it because everyone has a desirable trait.

I think writing a book with multiple main characters is very challenging and in this case I think the authors did a great job. I did't get the chance to read more than a few of these novels but I enjoyed it every time

[MrsCatInTheHat]

I like that contain multiple protagonists as long as their story cross at some point. I didn't feel that "My Trip to Adele did well in using multiple protagonists, as there was no connection between the protagonists at any point.

If Nadia and her son had made it, they would have connected. It falls short with the protagonists not connecting. It seemed like three different short stories with some underlying similarities.

It depends on how it's set up. If it switches every chapter, but one of the protagonists doesn't have as exciting of a part of the story, then I might skip or skim their stuff entirely. If they all meet up at the end or are interacting in some way, that tends to be my favorite setup. I think the author has a choice in how to setup a multiple protagonist story that can make or break its outcome.

[Kalin Adi]

It depends on the writer's style. There are writers that are skilled on how to develop each protagonist. When you read their stories, it's easy to follow and understand each character. However, there are writers that do not make the protagonist noticeable. Thus, some stories beg to have multiple characters while others just need one or a couple.

[Naval Aulakh]

Yes, I like to read the books that have multiple protagonists. They make the story more interesting.

[Sin24]

Do I like books with multiple protagonist? I would have to say yes, though reading a book with multiple protagonist doesn't allow me to truly merge with the main character which is a pity, it does offer me something which other books lack and that is the sense of ' connection '. All books have connection, whether it's between the lead and their romantic interest, their family or simple their surrounding, they show connection , however books with multiple protagonist shows us a different type of connect it; it shows how a protagonist action or words can or may affect another persons life who's hundreds or countries apart from themselves, and if that's not enough there is always the perk of seeming to attain more than one story in a book.

[Aldonsa]

I know many wonderful books with several protagonists, whose stories are related somewhat. Fore example, Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell.
But, in the case of this book, I think that there is the only one main character - Adele.

[Ssinghal]

I did appreciate the way three completely different people had just one thing in common: their love for Adele. I think the use of multiple protagonists is a great thing as it increases the chance of the reader connecting with the book better. It also helps understand different perspectives and point of views, which makes it even more philosophical.
