Can young adults identify with the main characters?

[prenaramesh]

I do think it is relatable, Brimstone is made fun of and is insecure which I think a majority of people go through in school.
I don’t know if it is very helpful for kids who are actually being bullied though. The solution is not magic.

As a young adult, I would say yes. My imagination is still as wild and carefree as a child sometimes. Sometimes I imagine myself as the characters I read, and become lost in the book.

Getting lost in a good book is something you never grow out of

I fully agree with you on that. A person will find himself reading the book over and over again so long as it is an interesting one.

Definitely yes, adolescents and young adults can easily relate with Brimstone especially those who go through bullying in colleges and estates.

[kandscreeley]

Brimstone didn't have the easiest life. He went through some bullying, and I think many will identify with him.

[Dystopiancitzn]

Absolutely! Even adults can sometimes relate to the characters in YA novels because they remind them of a younger version of themselves.

[kandscreeley]

I agree with dystopian. I think most everyone can relate in one way or another.

[Mtsweni Nelsy]

I think young adults can identify with such stories...especially looking at Bronson's character in the movie. It is very identifiable.

[docfatima]

Its easy to imagine adventure and magic for a young mind, so YES young adults will easily relate with this book.

[Quinto]

Brimstone is any typical young person with a questionable background and struggling through life with bullying, for example. But within themselves, if they believe, they can conquer their inner struggles and overcome their external foes as well.

[GPM]

Absolutely, I guess I can qualify to call myself a young adult: and I found it to be what I constantly need to be reading.

[Ash and Stars]

I think young adults can identify with the main characters. Brimstone faces bullying which unfortunately something that many young people come face to face with

[CommMayo]

Is Brimstone the most relatable character? Who do you think you relate to the most in this novel? Does it follow gender lines or cross them?

[nadiadeana]

Victor Rose was able to capture how Leaf aka Brimstone is a teenager at heart. Teenagers are often struggling with their inner self and the author managed to put it into words.
