When you read a mystery are you more drawn to books that are specific like Hannah Swensen or are you more prose to books like the Alex Cross novels that have a bigger following?
Right now as you can tell by the reviews I am reading the Hannah Swensen series, when I was a young teen my aunt got me into the Cat who books which I thought were great good mysteries without the language issue. As an adult I often wonder why authors feel the need to be crude? I don't think it sells as well. Even reading paranormal teen books I notice that the language isn't always the four letter words, so obviously language does weigh in when people purchase books. I just always wondered if people prefer the crude language or does that make the book less tasteful?
As a parent of small kids, both girls and a boy I try to find teen books, (when I'm looking for teen books) that are tasteful that I can pass down to my children when they are old enough. They may like it they may not, but I liked how family members were able to pass books down to me as a kid.
So if anyone has any opinions on my random questions feel free to share your thoughts. I will respond to any questions people have as well.
