In my experience, adults rarely bother reading the reviews of children's books and almost never read the books themselves - particularly if they don't have children.
I have so little patience with the whole Y.A. book thing. As far as I'm concerned, you either read books for children or you read books for adults.
That's the thing, when you play younger characters they're always less casual. You're hungrier or more naive. Those things wane in time.
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.
I've discovered writers by reading books left in airplane seats and weird hotels.
The woods that I loved as a child are entirely gone. The woods that I loved as a young adult are gone. The woods that most recently I walked in are not gone, but they're full of bicycle trails.
One of the reasons why people - particularly young people - love action movies is because what they are really looking for is justice.
The whole purpose of books is that we read them, and if you find you can't, it might not be your inadequacy that's to blame. 'Good' books can be pretty awful sometimes.
Calling a book 'young adult' is only important in that it can help get a book to the right reader. After that, it's a useless abstraction and should be discarded.
