You said - It would appear the death of young-adult literature has been greatly exaggerated.

In the last ten years young adult literature has been dominating book and movie sales. Who has said there is death of this genre? It seems to me its bigger than ever.
Now, if you're saying hunger games is a more involved concept and has deeper meaning to today's teens, I cant argue that as Im not too familiar with the book/movie.
When my wife was reading it, it seemed to remind me of the short story "the Lottery" and also that Arnold Schwarzenner movie where he was fighting in a game show. It didnt seem to be very original but I really have no clue.
I dont get why kids arent just reading Lord of the Rings and screw anything else.
