What makes a first - person adventure novel the best?

Answer 1

Well, for a first - person adventure novel to be the best, it needs an engaging plot. The narrator should be in the middle of exciting events. Take 'The Hobbit' for instance. Bilbo Baggins' first - person - like account (it's more like a memoir) of his adventure with the dwarves and against Smaug is full of twists and turns. And the character development of the narrator. As the adventure progresses, we should see the narrator grow, like in 'To Kill a Mockingbird' where Scout's first - person view shows her evolving understanding of the world around her.

Answer 2

A strong voice. If the first - person narrator has a distinct personality, it draws the reader in. For example, in 'The Catcher in the Rye', Holden Caulfield's voice is so unique that it makes the story an adventure in his own self - discovery. Also, a vivid description of the adventure is key. In 'Around the World in Eighty Days', Phileas Fogg's first - person account is filled with details of the different places and cultures he encounters.

Answer 3

There are several factors. First, authenticity in the narrator's experience. In 'Papillon' by Henri Charrière, his first - person account of his escape attempts from prison feels very real. Second, the ability to create a sense of wonder and discovery. When reading 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' from Alice's first - person perspective, we experience the same confusion and amazement she does. And finally, the connection between the narrator and the reader. A good first - person adventure novel makes the reader feel like they are right there with the narrator, sharing every high and low of the adventure.
