Nicole over at The Quiet Concert wrote a very interesting post this week discussing whether she is being unfair to young adult books. There are many times that this idea has crossed my mind when reviewing a young adult book when I didn't like it as much because it was too juvenile, even though it is in fact a young adult book. Therefore, I have wondered if sometimes I'm too harsh when reviewing young adult books, but either way I'm probably going to keep reviewing like I have been. Do you think you are ever unfair to young adult books?
Parajunkee conducted a book blogger survey a little while ago and some of the results are in! I always love reading surveys for some reason.

DeleteOh and buzzfeed is kind of addicting.
I didn't remember a lot of those Hunger Games differences because it's been awhile since I read the book. I like that they weren't really drastic and what they did change didn't ruin the story. Even if every detail wasn't quite right, I think they did an excellent job in keeping with the spirit and the essence of the book.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't read the hunger games in so long that when I was going over that list I only noticed a few of them when watching the movie as well. I thought Catching Fire was better than the first one and I agree with you, they were did an excellent job at keeping with the essence of the book. I had so many emotions while watching Catching Fire, it was just soo good.
