YA is not just for YA (week #7 part 2)

It's no surprise to me that there are more grown-ups that want to read YA novels. From Harry Potter to Twilight, to the Hunger Games, there has been an increase adults have frequented more YA books in recent years. According to Molly Driscoll, in her article "Whose Buying Teen Books," the appeal of these books might come from the less complex writing style and also these books offer a literary escape from the reality of life and an escape from adult fiction. Most adult novels are very serious and are bogged with complex dramatics and tragedy.
