[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not entirely clear on what Dune has to do with Stephen King. YA is a made up category for US booksellers, seems kind of pointless to debate what does and doesn't qualify. I think Hunger Games is a solid series. [/quote] I've never read Dune but I seem to remember it being more along the lines of what would be considered a pleasure read (like King books were pleasure reads). That doesn't mean that Dune isn't/wasn't a good story, it was just one that you read on your own time. It wasn't necessarily taught/discussed in an English class. But it's also not one that I would have necessarily been interested in as a teen, so it's possible that I simply chose another book to read, instead. [/quote] I agree with you 100% about the YA designation, btw. And I also agree that Hunger Games is a decent series.[/quote]
