I am a bit leery of books and fanfiction written in the first person. It does put me more *in the head* of the character, however if I don't like the character or how their personality is coming across. (visions of a mystery written by pretty popular male author where the female lead gazed in the mirror and admired her 36C breasts-but the POV was the least of that's book's problems). Bad ones aside, there are some especially hot *cough* Unguarded *cough* 1st pov because yes they suck you in and make you feel every stroke of the blade.
For the YA novel I'm writing I originally wrote it 3rd omniscient and then have gone back and re-written it in 1st because I realized it needed to be that intimate. Still not the POV I'm comfortable writing and I'm not convinced I've done a good job of it.
I've read some amazing stories in 1st pov, and equally back-buttoned any number of them.
