Would you rather read a novel by a adult or a really good book by a child of age 12?

Question

A 12 yearold girl i know believes she can a write a very great book. Would you read it if you knew the author's age?

Answer 1

The author's age would not matter to me. I would decide based upon the topic. However, if I knew it was written by a 12 year old I might choose to read it for that very reason to promote a young person's career.

Answer 2

I would read a book that had a good story and was written reasonably well. She may have a fantastic idea for a story, but how it is written will determine the audience (if any), so if she is not strong in that area, perhaps her book could use help.
I have no idea, and am not pre-judging her btw.

Answer 3

i dont really care about the age of the writer or whatever
but if the book looks interesting
then chances are that i'm gonna read it
but i like reading books that adults write
but sometimes children books are better

Answer 4

I don't care about the age.But it would be cool if a 12 years old girl wrote a novel.Visit www.freewebs.com/therealsora and write in the guest book.Oh yeah tell the girl to write a book.

Answer 5

Sure, i read a book by a 14 year old i forgot what it was called but i say it was very well done story. though everyone has there own opioin so you won't know till she writes it.

Answer 6

"The Outsiders" by S. E. Hinton, she was only sixteen when she wrote this novel. Age is not a large factor, just the maturity level.

Answer 9
