[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thinking of reading The Book Thief or that popular nearly-movie one that's one word and starts with D but I can't remember the name at the moment! Anyone read these?[/quote] Divergent is pretty bad. The Book Thief is good but keep in mind it's a middle grade young adult book.[/quote] Not sure why you'd have to keep that in mind. YA is basically a marketing label that's not even used in most other countries. Either you think it's worth reading or you don't (I agree Divergent isn't, but I've heard good things about the Book Thief and he has another book called I am the Messenger that's good).[/quote] I know what YA is. I read it a lot. Some of it is purely labeling; some isn't. I think it's helpful to keep the audience in mind as far as expectations. It's written so that 12-year-olds can get it. It's good, but it's not The Goldfinch. No need to be snotty when someone is trying to comment helpfully. [/quote]
