Yes. I am a teen novel reader. I am 20 years old. But quite honestly I love teen novels. Sometimes they're a lot better than any adult novel I've ever read. I mean, you've got great characters, romance, good storyline... all the elements of a good novel... it's just about teens.
But as of late I haven't really seen any GOOD teen fiction. I think the last good novel I read was Clockwork Angel (AMAZING!). But every book I've picked up since then I'm just like "Seriously? This is what you think teenagers do? You think they're interested in this crap?" I mean, come on... I'm sure if any of those authors stepped into a high school nowadays they would be sorely surprised. I think some people just want to make a quick buck so they write a teen book and publish it. NO, NO, NO. That's not the way to do it. At least find out what teenagers are interested in if you're going to do that. Most kids who pick up a book do not want to hear about a snotty cheerleader falling in love with an emo boy. An emo boy might want to read that... but not the rest of the teenage population. Please, someone intrigue me. WRITE ME A GOOD TEEN BOOK! Or at least recommend some... 'cause right now I don't have anything to read!
