I do support this too. Sometimes a single point of view would be more effective but when the shifting point of view is done well, it adds to the story.Lizzie Robinson wrote: ↑02 Sep 2018, 10:57 While I tend to prefer a singular point of view (just a personal preference), if a shifting point of view is done right it can really add to the novel. I think, given what Tanner was going for, it was a smart choice in this circumstance.

Wow, this is great. I also think that the shift does not create any confusion. It makes the story more interesting.PeaceLoveNature44 wrote: ↑09 Sep 2018, 22:01 I did not get confused by the shifting point of view. I loved how the author showed the different views, to help you understand and feel the character more. I loved getting into their minds to learn about them. If it didn't shift, I feel the book might of been more boring and harder to understand. It gave characters, their own story, that all added up into one big story.
