Adult Material

I've been really enjoying various works of Young Adult fiction lately. I find the stories to be extremely compelling and direct in a way that standard fiction is sometimes not.

Today, I read a great quote by Steven Moffat that really speaks to this fact:

"The misconception about children's fiction is that it's lightweight or fluffy. It's about really big and important things. It's adults who like light and fluffy. Everything is big and important to a child, [so] their stories are about big and important events."
