You have to have a really remarkable character to pull off First Person in a complete novel. I love them though. Probably because I have a degree in psychology and like getting into the character's mind.
I think Lee Child's 'Persuader' is the best of all his novels because the whole thing is done in first person. There is a total 'in the moment feeling.' As opposed to his others, which are still terrific.
Third person novels give you a lot more opportunities to tell the story. It's much easier. All my novels are third person, but I'd like to try first person.
One romance writer I know had me cracking up because she said, "How can you do romantic scenes in the first person?"
