Done with book

This book is told from 1st person point of view. It makes the story more personal and "in the moment", since you get told about things right when they happen. You also get to know how the teller of the story is feeling and what their thought process is like. It affects the plot in that you get their opinion of the events that are happening around them and what they think of the people they meet. I usually like stories told in first person, since it's easier to get into the story if someone is telling it from their point of view. But other times it gets really choppy and repetitive because they think in the same way, with the same words.
