But there are plenty of young adult and kid books that are well-written -- I do not allow the argument that young adult or kid readers deserve less than well-written books. Harry Potter, anyone?

Don't fool yourself: they're just basically cookie-cutter romance novels written by a not-very-talented writer, and you are not a very perceptive reader if you can't tell the difference between quality fiction and something that should have Fabio on its cover.
