I find it hard to get into books that have multiple points of view for the same reason--I want to connect with all the characters, and it makes it harder if I don't like them all or they get diluted.

I've read so many stories people rave about that I just don't get. Adversely, I've read so many I adored that just weren't that popular rating wise. *shrugs* Awards, smuwards.
