The Importance Of Young Adult Book Reviews

By Annabelle Holman


Books written for adults are often regarded by a certain age group as thoroughly boring. They no longer read the stories they enjoyed as children but have not yet discovered what lies in between. Today there are many books being written to fill this gap. They are adventurous stories filled with excitement and extraordinary events. Every genre is covered, from fantasy and science fiction to stories dealing honestly with issues like emotional problems, bullying and eating disorders. Thousands of young adult book reviews can be found online.

There are many different people who become book reviewers. Some do it as a full time profession and are paid to review. Others just enjoy sharing about books they have enjoyed. People of all ages write them and some are more qualified to do so than others. This makes it difficult to know which ones to read and trust.

One of the ways to find suitable books is to go through social networking sites. This is a way to keep up with what friends are reading and recommending. It helps to know reviewers personally, particularly if they have the same reading tastes.

There are certain review sites that are widely recommended. They are not specifically devoted to young adults but selecting a specific genre and going to the appropriate lists is possible. Belonging to such a site and purchasing books will often result in further recommendations for other novels like the ones already selected.

Some review sites are run by young people. Everything on the site is related to them and all reviews are written by them. This means that sometimes they are not written with the best grammar but the passion about the story still comes through.

Following a favorite author on Twitter may be something else for someone of this age to enjoy. Authors of books for this age group will often recommend fellow authors and other novels. They may even tweet about the next book of the series they are writing, giving a bit of a sneak preview.

A child may have loved childhood stories but fallen out of the habit of reading once exposed to the distractions of adolescence. In this case, it is worth introducing them to the many online platforms devoted to encouraging reading. They may find that certain books are not irrelevant to them at all and in fact may help them make sense of their world.

They may just become hooked on reading for life when they become involved in interacting with others of their own age and sharing information on such an online platform. They may even discover new genres they have not previously considered attempting to read. The excitement of another reader of the same age can be contagious.

The websites specifically designed to attract people of this age have many enticing opportunities. They can do far more than just find suitable books. They interact with other readers, learn more about favorite authors, enter contests, build a virtual bookshelf and join fan clubs. This age group are so involved with social media and utilizing this involvement makes sense in encouraging a love of reading.
