I know there are some books which do this successfully, but in general would readers find it confusing to switch between 1st and 3rd person POV? It would be each chapter, rather than switching mid-way through one.
Thanks

Thanks Stephen. I read Christine many years ago, must give it another look!
I can't add much more to this, but I will point out one of the best examples of the switch between voices defining a novel: Christine by Stephen King. The first and third second are first person, told by the 'hero' where the middle section is third person describing what happens to his friend when he is not around. Without a noticeable change in style the shift of perspective defines the novel beautifully. Well worth a read, if you're in the mood for horror!

Thanks Lorraine, I'll take a look at that.
Thanks again Jummy, looking forward to your feedback :)
