Young people between the ages of 13 and 21 often find that books written for adults do not appeal to them. They want stories where exciting, extraordinary, and enthralling events happen. When it comes to painful matters like emotional illness, abuse and bullying, they want stories that address these issues head on. Fortunately, there are many books written specifically for this age group. When looking online for young adult book reviews, thousands of results appear.
These reviews are written by people from all types of different backgrounds, ages and with different levels of skill. Some even make money from those they write and may not be altogether honest. In such a situation there may be some confusion about which reviews to rely on.
All teenagers are familiar with social networking. This is one opportunity to find information about books from reviewers that can be trusted. Information about what what is being read and recommendations are being provided by friends. They are known personally and may often have a similar taste in books.
There are a vast number of review sites available and some are better than others. To find the best ones, it may be useful to find lists listing the top ones and to find out what sites friends are using. These sites are not specifically devoted to a certain age group and one has to select a particular genre and go to recommendations for books suited to young adults. Once certain books have been purchased, recommendations for others like it may be given.
When joining a review site run by peers, this offers an opportunity to relate to others of the same age in a unique way. Perhaps some of the reviews are not polished and they may even be badly written. However, they are often brutally honest. Sometimes they are glowingly enthusiastic and this may just spark a response. A site like this will often have lists of books read most recently and provide updates on new books.
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.
Some individuals have enjoyed reading as a child but but once they reach adolescence they have all the distractions of social media and also feel that books written by adults are irrelevant to them. It is worth encouraging them to give online platforms a try and they may just change their minds. They may discover books they can really relate to, especially when they interact with others of their own age group and discuss certain novels together.
If they think that adult books are irrelevant to them, they will be astounded at the huge variety of fiction addressed specifically to them. Many adults even secretly find these books highly entertaining. All kinds of genres are covered and all sorts of relevant issues dealt with in a way that is honest and easily understood.
