Point of View (Essential Writing Skills series) by Vicki Hinze

Point of View (Essential Writing Skills series) by Vicki Hinze 3.5 out of 5 stars

I downloaded this after searching for a book on POV. Seeing that it was the only book on POV going for $.99, I purchased it. After all, what could it hurt?

I read it through in about 20-30 minutes. It was short, but had some very helpful pointers. It gave definitions and explanations of all the POVs:

Omniscient
First Person
Second Person
Third Person

It mainly discussed third person POV, what it was, how to utilize it, and how to switch from one character’s POV to another’s. I found this information helpful and useful.

My only complaint is that I would have liked a thorough description of ALL the POVs- and I would have liked the book to be longer as well.

The writing in this article is solid, (as should be expected,) and is concise.

I recommend this as a very basic intro to POV. I give this 3.5 out of 5 stars.
