Blood Fever


The Young James Bond book, Blood Fever, is about the adventure of young James Bond and because so much is happening and there are two storylines. I believe the author picked 3rd person limited so that the reader could fully visualize the 2 story lines  while  foreshadowing and   making the reader make predictions easily without knowing too much and luring them into the metaphorical spiders web of a story.
 I believe this is true because when James was exploring in the Giants tombs the narrator told how James was feeling and what he thought whilst he didn’t say: “Little did James know that the dehydration was just about to take over,” That would have made the story 3rd person omniscient or:
Cooper ffrench called out my name, and the sound seemed to pop and spin in to space with the noise like a firework.
I tipped foreword feeling the dehydration take over
And I was falling, down, down, down into that black abyss
 which would make it 1st person.
No, the narrator said:
 Cooper-ffrench called out his name, and the sound seemed to pop and spin into space with the noise like a firework.
 James tipped foreword.
And he was falling, down, down, down into that black abyss …
I also believe that 3rd person limited is  good for this story because  it makes the reader(or just me) see this story like I’m there but I’m not there and that is a good feeling.
