What is the better type of book?

Question

Their are two types of books. U kno when someone else narrates or when the main character narrates. I'll tell u wat I think l8r. but wat do u think makes a better story?

Answer 1

i like them both

Answer 2

I think what you are trying to get at is:

First Person - narrated with the vigorous "I",  (though not necessarily the main character or even a character in the main plot; e.g. Heart of Darkness, the narrator is not even in the main story).

Third Person Perspective - From one or more character's point of view, the first examples that come to mind is Lord of the Rings, Call of the Wild) .  

Third Person Omnipotent - True third person.  It is an all knowing, unbiased narrator.

Question is too ambiguous, both styles are great and have their uses.  Often first person is more introspective but biased.  Depending on the book and the style I like both.

Answer 3

You mean the two types of views? There's 1st person and 3rd person. This is an interesting question because it all depends on the author's writing style as well as the story itself. I like both, but usually tend to read more books told in 1st person. You can relate more to the character and it helps you to understand the story. However, that being said...you are very limited in 1st person. When the character is telling the story, you can only see and hear what the character sees and hears, etc. While in 3rd person, you can generally see everything that is going on from both sides. I like both, but it just depends on the type of story you are reading.
