Zitat des Tages von Ned Vizzini:
Putting lessons in young adult books is very dangerous.
Adolescence is the most Technicolor time in our lives. It's the time when adulthood is new and we care most about it. It contains the highs and lows that excite me as a writer.
You have tremendous freedom in the young adult book world to write what you want. You can put R-rated content in a book that you can't in a similarly targeted movie.
A lot of the books that I grew up reading were pretty brutal, like the 'Redwall' books.
I always start a book thinking that it can be something other than first-person present, and I always come back to first-person present. It's just the easiest way.
