(I wouldn't shift POV within a paragraph, though, because that's just confusing. And I probably wouldn't flit around for the same reason.)
Hmmm. This person didn't change within a paragraph, but in sections. So it sounds as though that wouldn't bother you— very interesting. I don't mind POV shifts when there are delineated marks. I've even done that. Once.
I had a lot of fun writing one piece where the POV shifted in just about every scene, and I was all ready with a defence on the lines of: "Oooh, but it was intentional and it's thematically congrous"... but nobody commented on it.
Awwww… isn't it funny how we imagine how our audience will react to a story, and I'm usually wrong. :P
I've even been known to grit my teeth at the wrong word homophones when the rest of a story is compelling, but then I find myself wondering if English is the author's second language.
