He does it incredibly well and it really adds to the story.<br /><br />Though I haven't read them, just watched the show, George Martin does this with the Game of Thrones series. He does it chapter by chapter I think.alexiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07122487552931794871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-42679918687612646752012-04-11T10:30:20.360-07:002012-04-11T10:30:20.360-07:00Sorry!

Some work best with two points of view, but other tales might be too confusing with more than one POV. Also, who is best suited to tell the story depends on the novel and the writer's intent.
