I find that, these days many people think- a prologue is annoying, but I surprisingly like them a lot. So here's the question, among two equally interesting books, which would you read, A- one with a prologue, one without a prologue? What do you think is the limit of words a prologue should have, and over which you wouldn't want it to be? And a honest personal opinion on prologue's themselves would be appreciated.
My decision to buy a book is not based on whether it has a prologue.
How do you know that the two books are eually interesting - if you don't read both of them?
:-)
If the book is good. If the author has a voice I like to read. Then I simply don't care if there is a prologue or not, I 'll enjoy it either way !
I think I do like prologues on the whole. I like the mystery (hook) that draws you in. So my vote goes for the prologue. If the book is that good, I don't even notice anyway.
