In the story, we are introduced to three protagonists who are all in different continents and who have lives that are completely separate from one another. With multiple protagonists, it's like you get three different stories and plot in one book.

As a reader, do you like books with multiple protagonists or do you prefer to have only one? Why? What is it about having a singular or multiple protagonist that intrigues you?

Bonus question: Do you feel like My Trip to Adele did well in using multiple protagonists?

I really love books that contain multiple protagonists/points of view. I think it's interesting to see the different character's perspective on the same situations.

I think My Trip to Adele was successful with it's use of multiple protagonists because it was interesting to see how her music can effect all sorts of different people, in different situations and different stages of life.

I agree. It enables you to see different angles, which enriches the story line.

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 like books with multiple protagonists. Though the writers of these books need a pat on their back because maintaining the essence of all the characters throughout the book is quiet difficult.

Yes. Though it's hard to read sometimes, i enjpy reading books like this. It allows you to relate with multiple people at the same time. All in all, what they feel and goes through might sum up what you're going through as well.

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.

I like the books with multiple protagonists because they have a good content in them

I enjoy multiple points of view/protagonists if done correctly. Some books I've read showcased very similar protagonists, so I felt like the multiple POVs were unnecessary.

Yes. Most of the awesome books I have read have multiple protagonists. For example, Along Way Down by Nick Hornby and The Time travelle's Wife by I can't remember right now.

I do like books with multiple protagonists, especially if they cross paths during the novel. I can't comment on My Trip to Adele as I have only read the sample, not the entire book.

I have only read the sample for "My trip to Adele" so I can't comment on it, but I was under the impression that at some point all three would cross each others path. So I'm a bit disappointed about finding that out.

I do like multiple protagonists especially if their paths connect or cross because it gives me a sense of how much our own lives cross and connect with others.

I enjoy multiple POVs when the characters interact. When they don't, or mostly don't, it depends on how well it's done.

I usually prefer one protagonist in a book because I feel like it allows me to build a stronger connection with them and I can become immersed in the book more. If there are multiple protagonists, I prefer the limit to be two.

I also do not think that My Trip to Adele did well in using multiple protagonists. The only connection they all had was a concert that, honestly, wasn't as important to the story as one would assume from the title. I think this book should have stuck with one protagonist and based the book off of their plot.

I love stories with many protagonists. I find the book glorifying individualism with only one protagonist. In a way, the authors gave it a shkt but it is not so effective in this story, I think.
