First, I feel like it's more intimate that wat

Okay, valid answer, thank you for sharing :)

I actually prefer 1st person rather than 3rd, but I tend to read a lot more of 3rd person tbh :)

I prefer first because you get to hear what the person is thinking and how they feel about people.

Thank you girls for sharing your thoughts :)

There are advantages and drawbacks to both. First person is more intimate but can also be myopic. Third person can be sweeping and inclusive, but sometimes feels less personal.

I completely agree.

First person is the simplest form of narrative. It's OK, if done well. However, I prefer 3rd person narrative. :)

[Carol]

I really dislike reading in 1st person, just feels awkward.

[Sarah]

I prefer first person because I enjoy steam-of-conscious narrative as well as observation. I especially love first-person in the bildungsroman genre.

[Julie]

I have no preference, but I don't like it when it changes in the book. It's hard to keep track of the flow if they change during the book.

I enjoy 1st but it does feel weird...I feel like a soul like the Wanderer in The Host but 3rd sometimes works like Cassamdra Clares books and Daughter of Smoke & Bone. (haha they're pi da the same style)

I prefer 1st person, it makes me able to relate to the person more and I like to know the characters thoughts and feelings
