One of my friends posted this article on Facebook and received many critical comments from other users.
I know that when I've expressed similar views in conversation with friends, I've been told that I hadn't read enough in the genre (which may be true, although I have read lots of the books they've recommended), that adult/"literary" fiction is overrated, and that I was being narrow-minded or childish.
YA is popular, I think, as it never was before, and so this seems to be something worth talking about. What are your opinions, AW?
