I think a lot of the quick switch of POV really comes about through inexperience, in the sense that the author has had a lot of chance to learn how to bring those important thoughts, things that the reader need to know, how to bring them on to the page, in any other way.

as a reader, i really don’t care what category the point of view might be defined as; it all rather seems like academic hair-splitting. just don’t confuse me :).
Hi Karl – I totally hear you on the “just don’t confuse” part of reading. There’s an author whose stories I really enjoy, and she writes in the omniscient viewpoint. Whenever I read one of her books, it takes me several chapters to get re-acclimated to her writing style.
