John Armstrong answers “how many POVs in this book? Or is there...”

Heather Person asked this question about Babel:

how many POVs in this book? Or is there just one?

John Armstrong Robyn is the de facto "I" character of the book (though referred to as "he/him") and the only one whose POV (perceptions, thoughts, feelings) are dire…moreRobyn is the de facto "I" character of the book (though referred to as "he/him") and the only one whose POV (perceptions, thoughts, feelings) are directly revealed to you. You get an idea of how various other characters view the world but it is only through external things like what they say and do. This goes for his three close friends as well as other primary and mid-level characters. Robyn is also the only character that I would say is fully developed. In particular there is no equally well developed second character, whether co-protagonist or lead antagonist, to serve as Robyn's "other" in the book. (less)
