A review by joshmorrey
Characters and Viewpoint by Orson Scott Card

5.0

A great book for understanding characterization in your own writing; the importance of it, when to use heavy characterization and when to not use it at all. I also learned a lot about point of view, something that I thought I understood very well already. Card goes into to depth on when each POV should be used, what the pros and cons are of First Person vs Third Person, Omniscient Narrator vs Limited Narrator, and deep character penetration vs shallow penetration. This book is a must read for any aspiring author or writer.
