Do you like reading books with multiple protagonists?
As a reader, do you like books with multiple protagonists or do you prefer to have only one? Why? What is it about having a singular or multiple protagonist that intrigues you?
Bonus question: Do you feel like My Trip to Adele did well in using multiple protagonists?

I think My Trip to Adele was successful with it's use of multiple protagonists because it was interesting to see how her music can effect all sorts of different people, in different situations and different stages of life.

I agree. It enables you to see different angles, which enriches the story line.MarisaRose wrote:I really love books that contain multiple protagonists/points of view. I think it's interesting to see the different character's perspective on the same situations.

Yes! You will, indeed!

I do like multiple protagonists especially if their paths connect or cross because it gives me a sense of how much our own lives cross and connect with others.

What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

I also do not think that My Trip to Adele did well in using multiple protagonists. The only connection they all had was a concert that, honestly, wasn't as important to the story as one would assume from the title. I think this book should have stuck with one protagonist and based the book off of their plot.
