Entry #19 – As I Lay Dying: This book switches from narrator to narrator and does not have a truly set main character. Although we get to experience the story from different points of view it is a bit much too keep switching between narrators especially since the deceased character Addie ends up narrating chapters that take place after her death. I‚ personally‚ would have liked it if the book had only one narrator and a set main character to maintain some sort of consistency throughout the book.
