Young people between the ages of 13 and 21 often find that books written for adults do not appeal to them. They want stories where exciting, extraordinary, and enthralling events happen. When it comes to painful matters like emotional illness, abuse and bullying, they want stories that address these issues head on. Fortunately, there are many books written specifically for this age group. When looking online for young adult book reviews, thousands of results appear.

Reviewers have many different reasons for writing reviews. Some are paid to write favorable ones and may not even have enjoyed the story. They are written by people of all ages with different levels of experience and qualifications. In the face of this wealth of information, it may be difficult to select ones that can be trusted.

All teenagers are familiar with social networking. This is one opportunity to find information about books from reviewers that can be trusted. Information about what what is being read and recommendations are being provided by friends. They are known personally and may often have a similar taste in books.

There are certain review sites that are widely recommended. They are not specifically devoted to young adults but selecting a specific genre and going to the appropriate lists is possible. Belonging to such a site and purchasing books will often result in further recommendations for other novels like the ones already selected.

When joining a review site run by peers, this offers an opportunity to relate to others of the same age in a unique way. Perhaps some of the reviews are not polished and they may even be badly written. However, they are often brutally honest. Sometimes they are glowingly enthusiastic and this may just spark a response. A site like this will often have lists of books read most recently and provide updates on new books.

It is also possible to follow a favorite author on Twitter and this may be another way to find the most suitable books. One may even find out more about a new book being written in a popular series in this way. Authors may also tweet recommending other authors or novels in a similar style.

Some individuals have enjoyed reading as a child but but once they reach adolescence they have all the distractions of social media and also feel that books written by adults are irrelevant to them. It is worth encouraging them to give online platforms a try and they may just change their minds. They may discover books they can really relate to, especially when they interact with others of their own age group and discuss certain novels together.

If they think that adult books are irrelevant to them, they will be astounded at the huge variety of fiction addressed specifically to them. Many adults even secretly find these books highly entertaining. All kinds of genres are covered and all sorts of relevant issues dealt with in a way that is honest and easily understood.

There are many methods used online to encourage young adults to read. Competitions, fan clubs and discussion groups are just some of these. They can explore the multitude of opportunities and are sure to find something that stimulates their interest.
