Maybe we're missing the point, point of view. Sure, we all
have different styles. Whatever works, go for it. The average
reader doesn't really care. What they do care about, myself
included, is being ENTERTAINED, which means they want to
identify the main characters and follow the plot.
How many times have you heard a reader say, maybe even
yourself, "That book flopped around so much, I had no idea
what was going on?"
So--Let's face it, constantly switching pov is a dangerous
tactic. Not that a rare writer isn't able to pull it off. If
so, I for one am ready to get up and applaud.
