Book/Author
What kind of narrator is the book using? (unreliable, omniscient, etc.) How does that effect
the way you interpret and understand the book?

The book is using first person narration, it shows what the person is thinking and doing at the point he is thinking or doing. It makes the book easier to understand and makes it interesting to see what the character is thinking about as he is going about his daily life.

star wars labyrinth of evil/james luceno

The book is using a third person narrative. it makes it seem like a video game where you see the events around the character and not know what will happen.

The book narrator is the main person maximum ride. She is talking and she give her opinion about her and the flock life.

Forever/Judy Blume
My book is in first person narrative. It explains what she is thinking and what is going through her mind while she is with Micheal. It affects the way you interpret the book by either agreeing with the character or disagreeing, as well as knowing what they feel.

The Nature of Jade/Deb Caletti
Jade, the narrator of the book is very informative, entertaining. Her narrating helped me to keep up with the story and to understand what was going on.

Marked by Kristen Cast and P.C.Cast
Zoey is the narrator of the book as also the main character in the story. She explains everything in the book clearly, from beginning too end. Even in the next books, she explains what she had said before that she had never said in the current book.

Star Wars Episode 3 by Patricia Wrede

The narrator of my book is in third person. It describes the environment, what the people are doing, and what the people look like.

The narrators in the book were the characters the chapters were split into point of views from the characters. so you got the full story of things... it was in 1st person point of veiw

Two Steps Ahead of the Thought Police/John Leo

The narrator is typically trying to go for unbiased. His views and opinions come through every now and then but he tries to put up a "no side" front.

Its off a one person basis, and its better this way because it would be very confusing coming from any one else's perspective

Girl with a pearl earring-by Tracy Chevalier
The narrator of the story is the girl with a pearl earring, in Vameer's most famous painting, she is strong willed and very private. Her view of things is honest, and somewhat innocent, with this outlook it makes the book much believable because in the painting the woman looks beautiful but innocent, with her wide innocent eyes.

Thug Matrimony
by Wahida Clark

The book is made up of many characters who narrate their own story and point of view of whats happening in the book. Its actually a better interpretation because the words are coming from that person and you know what happened because their telling you.

My book is an autobiography an its a first person and second because in parts of the book Dennis the describes him self and what he is feeling and in other parts there is a second person talking about him.

wind on the river

The narrator is the first person, john is talking about the experiences he had and what he is going trough while hi is in camp where it is snowing and has no other choice but to stay outside and guard.

There is no narrator because its a Manga, but you do understand the character more if can here what their thinking and saying.

Betrayed By P.C. Cast

The book is from a first person point of view. Zoey is the main character and is talking about her life at her new school and how she has to deal with becoming a vampire. Its going through the story of how it actually happened. I believe that the way the book is written is the way it would be best understood. If it was from any other point, you really wouldn't understand the story or how the school works.

My book is written in first person. A little girl in narrating the story. Reading from her point of view is better because it shows how certain situations affect her.

Fool For Love
Sam Shepard

the narrator is unreliable i sometimes have to go back an read through the chapter to a clearer understanding.

Poppy and Rye AVI
Brian Floca

The narrator is using first person. It's coming from a mouses point of view. This lets me view the book as a mouse.

The narration in the book I'm reading is first and second person. It's mostly second person because somebody else is talking about him throughout the book, but there are times when he speaks from his point of view.

The Poisonwood Bible/Barbara Kingsolver
The story of the book is told by a wife and four daughters. It has much imagery and has many points to look at, its not difficult to understand, it just needs much attention. When the mother speaks, she speaks elegant, but when one of the children speaks its easy to see from what kind of perspective im looking at.

The looking glass wars

The narrator is using mostly a 3rd person. This allows us to see all of what is going around not just with our character is doing.

The Devil's Workshop By:Stephen J. Cannell

This book has a third person narration, which makes me feel like I'm watching a movie where there are two totally different story lines that some how intertwine to become one suspenseful story. It makes the story much more interesting.

Good Enough; Paula Yoo

Good Enough is written in third person, limited. This allows me to walk in the main characters shoes and 'feel' everything she feels and sees. So it allows me to connect with the book and really enjoy it.

Slumdog Millionaire / Vikas Swarup

This novel is written in the first person. The narrator is not omniscient but he is reliable. This gives the reader an intimate knowledge of the narrators life, feelings, and emotions. I feel that this is the most effective perspective the author could have used.

suzan zeder/step on a crack.

the play is in like 3rd person. you hear the story from the outside.

(really hard question)

The book is using first person. Well the effect is positive because it is very clear for me to understand what the character is going through from the characters point of view.
