Young adult books are my new passion. When I look back at all the books that I have really enjoyed over the last few years, they all happen to be young adult.
I think because they are fairly straightforward. It's not even that I want simple writing, or cliches, but I don't want to be bogged down with someone trying to impress upon me how smart they are; how many big words they can fit into a sentence.
One of the books that I recently enjoyed was Daughter of Smoke and Bone. It was very to the point. However, my only complaint was the love connection was a bit to will they ever get together? Yes. They will. Of course they will.
But, in a way, that's what I liked about it. I didn't get to the end rolling my eyes, as if to say, what! That's is what you had happen at the end of your book! I felt that way about Life After Life. I spent all this time reading the book to be floored by how it ended -- in a bad way!
I guess that's it. If I had to pick one thing I really like about young adult books is that they get to the point.
