YA is a fairly recent invention anyway. (Not that it isn't great! I think it's a great invention!) Vivien Send a noteboard - 30/03/2012 04:01:35 PM
This is not a teen series. The content is very adult. That's true with some YA books... they're considered YA because the characters are teenagers. It drives me nuts.


Here's an exercise! Let's come up with books/stories where the characters would be considered teenagers today.

It's definitely marketed as such, whatever its content. Legolas - 30/03/2012 08:59:37 PM 868 Views

I liked it, but at times, I felt like I was a citizen of Panem, watching kids get killed on screen. Bookwyrm - 27/03/2012 08:07:48 PM 887 Views
Especially since Katniss is described as olive skinned herself. Vivien - 27/03/2012 09:25:46 PM 892 Views
I must have forgotten the part where they described Rue. Kaldric - 28/03/2012 02:23:14 PM 990 Views
