Hey--second consecutive post in forever!!
Anyway, back to the reason I'm writing this post. Everyone knows I'm an avid reader of Scott Westerfeld's books and blog. Apparently WSL went on some kind of rant on how YA novels were too dark and scary and causing teenagers to become cutters. When I first started reading about this on Scott's blog I was just waiting for Scott to shoot out all the reason they were wrong. And while he did do that, he also brought out a valid point, what about the parents?
He basically was saying that teens and parents need to talk about what they are reading if this concerns them. I thought it was a great post and I really appreciated it. Grant it, I'll be the first to say there there is some YA lit that I wouldn't recommend reading.....just like there are plenty of PG-13 and R rated movies I won't go see or recommend seeing, or parties I wouldn't' recommend going to, or whatever. So if you want to read what Scoot (and all the other comments [which a lot of parents were commenting!]) just go to Google and type in Scott Westerfeld blog and look at the July 7th post.
