Young Adult Book Reviews And Overview

By Marci Glover


Someone might ask what kinds of books are these and argue that a novel is a novel and anyone can read. True anyone can read any novel but can easily interest or become boring to a certain reader. This is because when the author was writing the novel or short story he/she had a certain age group in mind. An overview of young adult book reviews has been done below.

An example of a fictional book is when the author decides to write about vampires who live among people. The ironical thing is that there are good and bad vampires, that is, the good vampires will not drink human blood but animal blood while the bad ones will forever strive in human blood. The author goes on to say that the good vampire has found love with a human being but nobody in that town can differentiate a human being and a vampire.

Mostly the protagonist is a young adult instead of a child or a full grown adult.When it comes to the young adult books you will notice, that is if you like reading these books, that the author picks themes that affect the youth. Examples of themes used are like drug abuse, sexuality, self esteem, rivalry, love and romance etc.

For instance, an author may write about a boy who has lived and grown in poverty, has not had a decent education due to financial problems, misses meals and many struggles and ends up as a drug addict or a gangster.

These books are made more interesting by the tone used in writing them. It can be nostalgic, vengeful, remorseful or a happy tone this is decided by the author. While other writers might use one tone the other can use multiple tones.

The young literature also readily addresses the youth needs because the authors put themselves in an adolescent age and interests in mind. Certain criteria is used in writing young adult books such as subject matter, issues and experiences written should relate to the adolescent and many more.

Novels and short stories of the young people have been on the rise through the decades and still are. This is maybe because the authors have realized that there is always a ready market of this group and you know how these adolescents are like they do not want to be left out on anything.

Young literature has also been incorporated in schools making learning not only interesting but also improving the students comprehension. In addition it has helped to nature talented children in writing of such books.
