One of the more interesting experiments in perspective I've read is in the eighth Malazan Book of the Fallen, Toll the Hounds, in which Erikson has a character from the previous books (who has a very distinctive way of speaking) narrate the entire book in third person, making for a narrative that sounds *very* different than the seven books that came before.

It's split the fan-base in two, but I rather like the effect, personally.
Cold silence has a tendency
to atrophy any sense of compassion
between supposed lovers.
Between supposed brothers.
