I am not a huge fan of 1st person, but it can be enjoyable to me if its done right. Many of the UF I read are 1st person and it works on those. I guess that is the writer skill. But yeah, I don't see it much in HR at all. |

Thanks for the warning, so I won't pitch my Kindle across the room in a fit of pique when caught off-guard. |

One of my resolutions for the year is to read a sample of the book before purchasing if I am unfamiliar with the author. In this case the writing did not catch me within the first few pages. |

I don't exactly hate them, but far too many authors have no idea how to tell a story from a first-person perspective and make it believable and enjoyable to read at the same time. If they can't get it right in the first page or two, I delete the book from my library and move on.

Love those McKinnon brothers! Clare has said she's writing two more to it.

And really, I don't mind FP in say, poetry. I really enjoy getting into the head of both of the main characters, and that's really difficult to do in this tense. Quote:
My sinus infection seems to be re-rearing its ugly head (ran from mid-Sept to mid-Dec, on antibiotics for 9 weeks) and my head is killing me, so I might be switching to something lighter. Reading's easier on my sore head than the backlit computer and tablet. |
