Hi, acadia c,

Thanks for posting. First person narrative is a technique I like to use because it gives precisely what you mention -- a well-rounded pov aspect of the story. But there are certainly stories I plan where the first-person narrative has to give way to a single viewpoint, or even an outside narrator. That's a choice I have to make for the sake of the book. But I still very much prefer the pov narration because it gives all the book's characters a chance to tell the story.

Good for you for noticing! -----Gordon Korman-----
