Week 7 #3

Teenreads is put out by The Book Report Network, and that says a lot.  This site seems to be written by adults, the reviews and everything else very lengthy, paragraph after paragraph on each title.  Hard to plow through for adults let alone teens.  Although the site is enlivened by some teen-oriented features, the 24-member Teen Board, Books on Screen, The Ultimate Book List, surveys, contests and giveaways, it's not clear how many responses those received.  A monthly poll, however, "what character in a YA novel would you like to be?" apparently garnered 738 votes in May, so, who knows...it's difficult to judge what this site is used for and by whom.
