From Amazon.com's information page on Deathwatch:

From the Publisher "An exciting novel based on a fight to the finish between an honest and courageous young man and a cynical business tycoon who believes that anything can be had for a price."--Horn Book. An ALA Best of the Best Books for Young Adults, Edgar Allan Poe Mystery Writers Award, A New York Times Outstanding Book of the Year, New York Public Library--Books for the Teen Age.

Sounds notable to me, and it's on the optional reading list for grades 7-12 in most schools--or was when I was in school, in these days of zero tolerance mere mention of a gun might get it yanked from the list... scot 15:53, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Page Move

[edit]

Moved page from "Deathwatch (Book)" to "Deathwatch (Novel)" for political correctness. Checked for double redirects. Also, the plot content needs a bit of rewording to fit the manual of style. --Wavemaster447(Need help? Ask me) 17:38, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Problems

[edit]

Due to the fact that I reverted Burmiester (talk · contribs) while he was editing, I reverted 3 times recently PST. Hence, I need to list the problems that I've seen in the article recently:

  1. The images, although apparently public domain, do not aid understanding of the book.
  2. The plot section, at least, is severely overlinked.
  3. The plot section is excessive, per WP:NOT#PLOT.
  4. The plot section may be a copyvio, or may be copied from the (also excessive) plot section of the novel, Deathwatch. (For instance, a source for the specific model of the gun would be required. It was (probably) specified in the novel, but it's unlikely it was specified in the movie.)
  5. Both references (http://www.allreaders.com/topics/info_28519.asp and http://www.essaypride.com/essays.php?free_essay=3207204&title=Book-Summary-On-Deathwatch-By-Robb-White) are personal book reviews, and so are not reliable. (The second seems to be a book review for plagiarism use, rather than for actual content.)

Tags I cannot restore include:
