(Yeah, it's kind of like reading the sequel before the book, but hey, gotta do what you gotta do)<br /><br />What I found by working with boy readers for years and years is that different boys like different kinds of books. You can draw some generalizations but not everyone will fit into them. One of my reluctant boy readers liked romance novels.Paul Grecihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11340974339238587138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085819220508965925.post-36299025994422578132011-02-09T22:30:16.241-05:002011-02-09T22:30:16.241-05:00Coolio.

I love adult books and children's books, but YA seems to leave me pretty underwhelmed.Neal Kristopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497801086488166255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085819220508965925.post-53866759096758399612011-02-09T10:51:48.676-05:002011-02-09T10:51:48.676-05:00I'll try to get there tonight.

Boys read, but the book's gotta be funny and sexy and teach them something they WANT to know about...like how their dates TOTALLY appreciate fresh breath and how girls do not like to be rushed when they're getting ready. And a lot of boys' books don't have enough plot...honestly I don't think boys care as much about plot as females, however, if a book can include all the stuff they do like AND an awesome plot, much the better.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333494452915600562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085819220508965925.post-58556218916844841532011-02-08T23:45:26.363-05:002011-02-08T23:45:26.363-05:00That was really interesting.

It's to bad they tend to be few and far between. <br /><br />That's why we need more great male writers like you, Jon.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07993728503710435697noreply@blogger.com
