I love reading books that have multiple protagonists! I enjoy reading books where characters intertwine and their back stories coincide with each other, and even if they don't go hand in hand there is still so much enjoyment I get from it. It almost feels like more than one book sometimes. I also feel like it shows how truly small the world is and how we usually have similar foot paths as others.

I enjoyed "My Trip to Adele." I think the author did a good job intertwining the stories. I wanted more from the ending, but overall it was a good read.

I do like a book with multiple protagonists. I think it makes the story much more interesting, although sometimes it can be confusing.

I think the authors did a very good job with the multiple protagonists in this book...there was no confusion at all.

oh me oh my. Sounds like a book i read a few months ago. 'The mammoth hunters' it had multiple protagonists and i just could not take a break. I believe such books are so interesting and thrilling at the same time.

I personally enjoy a book with different protagonist especially when there is a connection and interaction between the characters it helps see people from different perspectives.
Multiple protagonist did no suit my trip to Adele. The author should have stuck to one main character.

I love books with different protagonists. I like feeling that I can lose myself in more than one story at a time. Also, it often allows me to see different sides of similar situations.
I do feel a little disappointed when the story switches from one point of view to another. But it leaves me wanting to keep reading to find out what happens next.

It depends on the plot of the story. There are many insights that you will learn with multiple protagonists. But it can also cause overload of characters and confusion. You can't justify the true meaning of the story.

I think most of the books I have read didn't have multiple protagonists, but, I wouldn't mind reading one if it has a good plot. The LOTR books might be considered books with multiple protagonists and it is a delight to read the storylines of each one of them.

I enjoy reading books with multiple protagonists. It gives me a feel for how each character looks at a situation differently. I also like the element of complexity it can potentially add to the grand scheme of things.

I do enjoy reading a book with multiple protagonists, as long as it is done smoothly. The use of multiple protagonists can add depth and understanding to a story.

like that contain multiple protagonists because their story cross through many point. "My Trip to Adele did well in using multiple protagonists, as there was connection between the protagonists at many point.

I like diversity so much. Books with multiple protagonists usually make an interesting mix that compliment each other. I am also usually excited to know how they all could be connected.

The book's protagonists were all linked to Adele. As Adele fans, the authors wanted to immortalize Adele and her songs and so wrote a book that (in my humble opinion) successfully did so. If I were Adele, I would be extremely flattered.

Books with multiple protagonists are brilliant as long as the author manages to convey the difference in the writing style. If the protagonists do not have a unique 'voice', the situation with multiple POVs just ends up being confusing.
