Are the Gone series (Michael Grant) suitable for Adults?
I've read up through the 3rd one. I'm 44 and read books that my children recommend. My 11 year old and 21 year old both recommended these books. For an adult, they are a very quick, simple read. It's fairly violent, there's a few parts that made my skin crawl. It also doesn't hold back on what would really happen to a bunch of kids left alone. The addition of the superpower element turned me off a bit, made the whole series seem a lot less realistic. The series doesn't gloss over what might bother younger readers. Go pick up the first one from the library and give it a try. You've risked nothing, and spent nothing. For a read that is definitely for adults but touches on many of the same issues as Gone, try Under the Dome by Stephen King.
Are there any good young/new adult western romance novels?
You can get it directly hereThe Texan's WagerFrom Publishers Weekly: Two emotionally scarred people find love in this fast-paced Western from Thomas (To Wed in Texas, etc.). When Bailee Moore and her two female companions are voted off a wagon train, they reluctantly make their way to Texas, where they are accosted by a wild, smelly man set on stealing their wagon. The three women bash the brute over the head and promptly turn themselves in to the nearest sheriff, convinced they've committed murder. Instead of sending them away to be hanged, however, Cedar Point's wily sheriff devises a marriage lottery, in which the women are raffled off and married to men willing to pay their prison fines. Carter McKoy, a silent recluse with a tragic past, draws Bailee's name, and though she deplores her lot, she quickly warms to him. The first half of the novel ambles leisurely along as Bailee and Carter come to know one another, but the pace picks up abruptly when Bailee learns the man she allegedly killed is alive and eager for revenge. Though the intrigue subplot fleshes out Carter's character and allows for some compelling cowboy action (complete with fistfights and bullet-dodging heroics), it detracts from the real drama between Bailee and Carter. Thomas's crisp prose, sprightly dialogue and homespun characters will charm most readers, but some may be left puzzling over the novel's loose ends.Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.

When both of your parents die even as an adult are you an orphan?
Sooner or later that will happen to all of us. My father died when I was 13, so definitely I and my siblings became semi-orphans. But now I am 61 and my mother 84. I kknow that our time together now will not last forever, but as an adult I do not consider myself becoming a full orphan once my mum dies. I think in the real sense of the word we really talk about orphans when we speak about under 18s who are losing on or both parents.
Why are children these days so ungrateful?
(I tried to post the question with the link byt YA wouldn't let me so I had to post the content here.) PARENTS planning day trips during the summer holidays have been sent a message from the kids. Don’t bother. Almost 70 per cent of students say they hated family days out as youngsters and wished their parents had left them to amuse themselves. Top of the hate list were visits to the Natural History Museum (or any museum) closely followed by days out in Blackpool or Bognor Regis and, almost as bad, trips to see distant relatives. Only a quarter of 1,200 students polled in a survey claimed to enjoy family days out. For 42 per cent the journey was the worst part of the trip, but 18 per cent blamed lack of “fun things to do” at their destination. And 12 per cent said they would prefer to be surfing the internet. Many students claimed that boredom had been to blame for any childhood sulkiness. Nigel Whiteoak, manager of online auction site TeleBid.com, which undertook the research, said yesterday: “It quickly became evident that more would prefer to stay at home and do their own thing than enjoy a day out with the family.” He added: “I have to confess I am one of the few who used to enjoy day trips to Blackpool with my family in the summer.’’ Life coach and youth worker Joseph Clough said: “This research shows that, despite attempts to ensure quality time spent with their children, parents are falling short and weakening their bond with them by enforcing time together.” Ten most hated day trips 1 Natural History Museum 2 Blackpool 3 Bognor Regis 4 Visiting relatives 5 Weston-Super-Mare 6 Stonehenge 7 Warwick Castle 8 Model villages 9 Nature parks 10 Garden Centres
Why do people leave their parents? And what do parents feel when their children leave?
This varies widely by culture. In some societies, families tend to continue living together in groups, and that is considered the norm. But in the US, and many other western cultures, adult children are typically expected to leave the home at some point during early adulthood. 20 somethings are expected to move out, get a job, or go to college and start a career, meet a partner, and start our own family separate from our birth family. People here who continue to live with or near their parents are considered to be less differentiated and are sometimes the butt of jokes - "failure to launch", etc.I am now (mostly) an empty-nester. My 24 year old son, after trying college, working full time and being a musician, recently returned to college and lives on campus - he only comes home for breaks between semesters. My 21 year old daughter goes to college and works, has her own place, and she will be getting married in a year. When they left for school, I had mixed feelings of joy and happiness for them, as well, as a sadness that childhood was truly over, and a strong sense of missing them being with me on a daily basis. But I had always raised them to be independent and think for themselves, and now I am reaping what I have sowed. I am very proud of them and their accomplishments, and feel that I did a reasonably good job.
