Can anyone recommend stories that are told though a variety of different character's perspective? Basically, stories that explore perspective and different views on one topic/event/character etc.

Preferably books that are targeted at a young adult or adult audience.

Thanks.

LOL

have you read Dracula? You'll love it, its told as a collection of different pieces of "evidence", newspaper cuttings, diary entries, letters, scientific studies, etc. Its actually eerily effective

If you're desperate pick up a romance novel lol, conflicts/misunderstanding between the hero and heroine are the definition of this genre.

Mr Faulkner seems to dig writing like this, so basically anything by him.

I've been told that The Alexandria Quartet by Lawrence Durrell does this in a really interesting way (you can find the whole quartet within one book in the stores I believe).

we did cry the beloved country for perspectives last year, but i wouldnt recommend it to read. The first section of Atonement could work though
