Mexican kids growing up in the 80's. Sort of like John Hughes movie when they were fresh. there is a magical realism element but it's used as a vehicle for the characters' story.

You can compare this to Diaz's Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao, but it's actually good. there are plenty of references to pop culture of the time, but it's used well unlike the former.

It's always nice when writers can use pop culture while not being completely and utterly cringe worthy

I like John Green, fight me

Daniel x wasn't bad for a young reader
>at least the first one
I can't safely say the sequels weren't terrible despite me reading them (they left little in the way of an impression on me).

I liked the Eragon series the most out of the "YA' variety of novels. Although, as of lately I've been reading some 40k books and I'm taking a shining to Gaunt's Ghosts.

That was a good book, much better then her earlier writings.

Nothing and no. It just shouldn't be read past a certain age.
