What type of book plots do teenagers hate?
Or at the very least, what plots are considered "too lame" in the eyes of teenagers?

Ignore the answer above, while it is true that teens are not enthusiatic about learning, there are bound to be many picking up the next hottest book. But I think its a bit hard to quite decipher exactly what is "too lame", trends for teens are very up and down, loved and hated, they're all different. So something can be very hated and sometimes very adored, like nowadays a lot of teens are vampire-crazy, however, many renounce this popularity and hate it because it now seems stereotypical since it is popular and many read it. But I would say try not to venture into the supernatural stuff, its a bit risky whether teens will like it or not, and many times typical romances can be boring, it must be creative, attractive and immediately grabs hold or has a unique taste to it. And stay away from vampires, while it is adored by lots, it is hated by many. Well, that's what I've got to say, this is what I think, I'm a teenager, but I prefer to read classics sometimes, though many don't like it.

Lately, I've found that teenagers desire a supernatural twist.
But really, like with everyone, that's a generalization. For instance, I'm a teenager, and I read all sorts of books --- romance, thrillers, supernatural stuff, mysteries, fantasy, and even the occasional political thriller (Clive Cussler). The key is to put the right spin on it so that it's attractive to the age group you're aiming for.

i HATE reading about a story that sounds like I could have lived it at high school. I don't want to waste my time reading about the drama of a break up story that I could have lived at school yesterday. I much prefer adventure stories with characters in medieval times who don't even go to high school and live in a world that I will never live in unless I read that book.
