Finding And Reading Young Adult Book Reviews

By Marlene Blevins


Information on or summaries of books for your teen would be so helpful to you when you are trying to find appropriate reading materials for your child. The very best source for this is in young adult book reviews which you can find in publications and online. They will be beneficial in assisting you in locating exactly what you have in mind for that special young person.

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.

This saves you both time and money in selecting materials for teens in your household. The last thing you want to do is shell out ten to fifteen dollars for a paperback and then have it lie around unopened until someone finally stores it unread on a shelf.

Your teen's interests are known to you better than anyone else so it is up to you to utilize any resources to assist you. First you must decide on the type or genre of the work you are seeking. You can choose from romance, fantasy, science fiction, drama and futuristic novels or you may be seeking a nonfiction work on space travel or cars. Using online searches may give you much more information because of the availability of resources.

A review will begin with an introduction. It may talk a little bit about the author and why the work was written. It may give lists of other works by the same author. The genre may be discussed as well as the type of writing it is composed of. Comparisons may be done against writings by other well-known authors. This information may also be given at the end of the article instead.

A summary of the main content will be provided. The author's style as well of the genre of the writing should be apparent at the beginning. Other elements that may be introduced could include the main characters, the story line and the progression of the writing. No ending should be given in fiction work articles as it would spoil it for future readers. If this is not a work that the parent is interested in, he or she may stop reading at that time and move on to the next one.

Those individuals who become intrigued by what the article reveals will continue reading. They may plan on purchasing that particular work either at the store or online. They will have a chance to evaluate any language or violence issues inside the pages. If parents are not sure if they wish to buy it, they can write down or copy the article for future reference.

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.
