Assessment[edit]

I am expecting just a bit more in the discussion of literary themes, style, genre, etc. (but don't know the sources, so I may be wrong) and I am not sure if the character list really helps the reader, it couldn't be integrated into the plot section more. Hope that helps. Cheers, Sadads (talk) 02:06, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(b) it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation

Verifiable with no original research:

Broad in its coverage:

The article satisfactorily covers all ideal encyclopedic aspects of the topic, and nothing included appears trivial or otherwise unnecessary. Like my singing? Ha-la-la-la-la-la-LA-LAAA!!! (talk) 06:23, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Chapters[edit]

"The book is divided into five chapters." However, the synopsis only describes the events of four chapters. Perhaps someone should fix this.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.235.184.247 (talk) 18:00, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
