There's nothing wrong with writing young adult novels, most of them are better than 'adult' novels anyway..And the reading level of most 'adult' novels today is 5th grade to began with

Oh yes i know there is really nothing wrong with reading them or writing them . Oh yes i know what u mean about some aduilt novels being almost like a 5th graders ha ha ha ha ha that is really true , acually that is why i stoped reading most of the novels that my grand mother reads ha ha i mean they are made for aduilts but they just seemed like they where writen by a 5 year old who might know to much a little bit . i hope that is not a bad thing to say . i mean that is really the only way i know how to put it . it is the truth .

Well, I mean not adult in theme so much as adult in who they are aimed at ^.~. And by 5th grade reading level I meant reading comprehension level, words an average 5th grader would understand...I know there are many Boobers out there that read years above the grade they are in (mine was college level when I was fourteen), but reading levels in the book word are based on the everyday reader in whatever grade they stand for...
So, the 5th grade reading level most popular adult novels have now is nothing to write home about . And so, no one should be imbassrested reading YA fiction, which, IMHO often has more exciting plots than adult books and really when you get down to it, the same reading level, if not higher.

yes i agree with everything u said here , that is why after all of these books i mean the princess diriees series i just read some of classics and that inculdes agaitha cristiy books and then i go into the Christian theme romance and christian authors who also wright about other things .

They like those other myseries are deep but good and "clean " along other chistian autors to other themes out there .

I really love all biogophys also read them all the time along with history love it so much . all the time i read those . Got a bunch of history books on my trip to the grand cayon in the stores .

What is the book about that you are reading?

I'm reading "marley & me" by John Grogan (in English).
It's a nice story about a young couple, their uncontrollable dog (=Marley) and their three children. It's funny, sometimes a little sad too, very entertaining and quite easy to read even if English isn't your native language.
