One, maintains an internally
-consistent viewpoint and tone
despite all externally-inconsistent
events and conditions reported
to the contrary.
Two, you know the guy (or
doll) and they're nothing like
that in real life. Not to be
confused with audiobook
readers! The narrator is
actually in the book. The
reader they hire is not
the same.
Three, you check in the book
and there's no narrator in
there. It's just flat author
omniscient deadpan reportage.
This is the surest sign of all.
With the possible tradition
-based exception for The Bible,
no author is omniscient! It's
a con job - don't fall for
that ol' wool-pull.
Four, you wrote it yourself.
Five, it was written about
you.
Six: other. Varies.
