How old is 'too old' for Young Adult books?

I Любовь Young Adult Книги and much prefer them to 'adult' books. But Young Adult is also 'children' s books', teenagers in school. So how old is too old to be Чтение the Young Adult genre? What do Ты think?

Honestly there really isn't a thing as "too Old" if Ты enjoy a book или just find it interesting no one is going to stop Ты and tell Ты Ты can't read it. I have a collection of Книги I loved as a pre-teen and sometimes when I'm in the mood for a light read, или I just crave a good familiar story I read them. My younger sister finds it great that she can hand me Книги she just read so I can read them and talk about them with her

So to sum it up, if Ты enjoy a story read it, forget the age group...oh and wasn't harry potter a Young Adult book? :P

I don't think there is a maximum age, for instance, the Harry Potter series may be considered "Children's" или "Young Adult" books, but they are read (and loved) by all ages. However, unless a kid has a еще advanced Чтение level, then I think nine is the minimum age. Some Young Adult Книги have content that is mostly for teenagers, but I (as well as some people I know) was Чтение some YA Книги at nine and ten.

Never...they just put that label to say it's sutable for YA and up... it's not fair that adults can't read particular Книги because they are 'too old'

I believe that any adult can share in the joy and experience of losing yourself in a good book; whether it's a young adult novel или not.
Young adult novels usually revolve around themes that attract the tween/teen ages, but this does not mean that these themes do not also attract adults, too.
I am a person considered of young adult age. If I find a really good young adult novel, I lend it to my mother (who is a very picky critic I might add), and she usually enjoys it. My mother is 46 years old.
In conclusion, there is no such thing as "too old" for a book. However, there is such a thing as "too young" for a book, as some Книги involve complex themes that younger children might not understand или these themes would frighten them.
I hope that I have helped Ты better understand your question, as I have answered it as completely and thoroughly as I could for your (and others pondering your same question) benefit.

As a simple answer to your question: no one is too old for young adult.

I'm 25 who was working at a bookstore for the past several years and I really came to realize that while I did read 'adult' non-fiction, I turned to the YA department for my fiction reads. I think that YA (older readers, middle school, high school) Книги are typically the best of all fiction -- very imaginative and willing to create new worlds или rediscover old WITHOUT feeling the need to throw overly dramatic romances to 'liven' up the story. That's not to say romance isn't appreciated (Bella & Edward, Ron & Hermonie) but YA doesn't include ridiculous soft-core porn scenes ala "The Clan of the Cave Bear" или Danielle Steel's works.

So all in all, I don't consider YA to be 'children's books'. If someone says 'children's books' I point them to the picture books. But YA is for everyone, young and old.
