How old is 'too old' for Young Adult books?

Honestly there really isn't a thing as "too Old" if you enjoy a book or just find it interesting no one is going to stop you and tell you you can't read it. I have a collection of books I loved as a pre-teen and sometimes when I'm in the mood for a light read, or I just crave a good familiar story I read them. My younger sister finds it great that she can hand me books she just read so I can read them and talk about them with her

So to sum it up, if you enjoy a story read it, forget the age group...oh and wasn't harry potter a Young Adult book? :P

I don't think there is a maximum age, for instance, the Harry Potter series may be considered "Children's" or "Young Adult" books, but they are read (and loved) sa pamamagitan ng all ages. However, unless a kid has a madami advanced pagbaba level, then I think nine is the minimum age. Some Young Adult books have content that is mostly for teenagers, but I (as well as some people I know) was pagbaba some YA books at nine and ten.

Never...they just put that label to say it's sutable for YA and up... it's not fair that adults can't read particular books because they are 'too old'

I don't know but I'm exactly the same! :)

You are never too old to read young adult books
my friend read bantay when he was NINE and I know a SEVEN taon OLD who read twilight

I believe that any adult can share in the joy and experience of losing yourself in a good book; whether it's a young adult novel or not.
Young adult novels usually revolve around themes that attract the tween/teen ages, but this does not mean that these themes do not also attract adults, too.
I am a person considered of young adult age. If I find a really good young adult novel, I lend it to my mother (who is a very picky critic I might add), and she usually enjoys it. My mother is 46 years old.
In conclusion, there is no such thing as "too old" for a book. However, there is such a thing as "too young" for a book, as some books involve complex themes that younger children might not understand or these themes would frighten them.
I hope that I have helped you better understand your question, as I have answered it as completely and thoroughly as I could for your (and others pondering your same question) benefit.

As a simple answer to your question: no one is too old for young adult.

I'm 25 who was working at a bookstore for the past several years and I really came to realize that while I did read 'adult' non-fiction, I turned to the YA department for my fiction reads. I think that YA (older readers, middle school, high school) books are typically the best of all fiction -- very imaginative and willing to create new worlds or rediscover old WITHOUT feeling the need to throw overly dramatic romances to 'liven' up the story. That's not to say romance isn't appreciated (Bella & Edward, Ron & Hermonie) but YA doesn't include ridiculous soft-core porn scenes ala "The Clan of the Cave Bear" or Danielle Steel's works.

So all in all, I don't consider YA to be 'children's books'. If someone says 'children's books' I point them to the picture books. But YA is for everyone, young and old.

I think that age is but a number read whatever you want!

i say if u can read it and understand it then ur old enough
