As many as you want, really, as long as you're not making it too confusing!. I mean, a different POV every chapter for 200 chapters might not be the greatest, but I'm sure 5 or 6 can be done very well!. I know of a children's novel - Schooled - that has a very large umber of POVs, and it works out fine!. So I'm sure 5 is okay!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This book has about 6 people's different points of view and it works well because it's a big event!. If you're writing a book where people's opinions clash which causes conflict then yeah go for it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

As many as you want!. Just make it clear who is talking!.
