Finding And Reading Young Adult Book Reviews

By Marlene Blevins


Your children love to read but you don't quite know where to look for information about or summaries of teen reading materials. The best place to look is at young adult book reviews either online or in publications. This will help you locate exactly the reading materials you are looking for just for that special young person in your life.

If you are seeking reading materials, reviews help you decide if the novel featured is something you would choose for your child to read. They are a great way to narrow down your choices and to explore new and interesting works by both established and new authors.

Learning about specific works will help save money and time when selecting reading materials. You don't want to buy something and then have it lay around the house for days without being opened even once so choosing something compatible with your teen's interest is vital.

No one knows your teen like you do and the type of reading that he or she is interested is what you will be seeking. Reading the newspaper, especially the Sunday paper, and searching through teen and literary magazines will help you find the stories and manuals that are required. Their interests could lie in romance, science fiction, fantasy, drama, futuristic or even mystery literature or they could be into astronomy or history. Online sources are unlimited as to the amount of information they may have on specific works so they may be the best places to search.

A book review will begin with some type of introduction. It may discuss the author and his background as well as why the work was written. There may be lists of works by the same writer. The genre should also be revealed at this point as well as the style of writing used. The work may be compared to that of other writers. Some of this information could also appear at the end of the article as well.

A short story summary will be given. It will describe the author's style and knowledge of included materials. It will give readers a framework of the entire work so individuals can decide if this is something they would like to read. This summary, however, usually does not include the ending as it would spoil it for the reader. Many a time, an individual will stop reading the article right there if it is not a subject he is interested in. He probably won't even read the remainder of the account.

But those who are intrigued or know that it is something that their teen will enjoy will continue reading the article to help make a final decision as to whether to purchase it or not. The language and violence in the work may be thoroughly evaluated. If a parent is undecided, she may jot down or make an article copy for future use.

Looking for these works in magazines, newspapers, and online will help readers assist teens in expanding their horizons by introducing them to newer, more current novels and nonfiction as well as classical and more well known writers. They will provide a guide for purchasing future books by the very same author if the teen reading it really enjoys the story and the writing style.
