At first I couldn't figure out what it was that I didn't like. Then, I realized there was almost no dialogue! It definitely felt like something was missing and the whole thing fell flat. <br />Happy Reading!<br /><a href="http://cheriereads.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Cherie Reads</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08743741079425705658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3819848879688813135.post-50800945138921858972012-10-26T09:26:58.987-04:002012-10-26T09:26:58.987-04:00Yeah switching POVs with no indicator of who's...Yeah switching POVs with no indicator of who's speaking drives me crazy too! I spend forever trying to find out who's talking and then we move onto the next narrator!<br /><br />Although I can admit that switching POVs can be done well.

I hate switching especially with third person POV, they just shift so easily because they are not really talking from the character's head and I sometimes struggle to figure out exactly <i>whose</i> thought was it that I just read. Totally a kill joy.<br /><br />I don't really enjoy a <i>lot</i> of dialogues, I think about ten at a time is all I can take, otherwise I feel like the dialogue is excessive and I am reading a script, not a novel. So yeah, totally get where you are coming from here ;)<br /><br />New follower on GFC!
