Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:The Homeward Bounders/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

This article needs revision. Diane Wynn Jones' magnificent children's novel deserves more detailed description of both the plot, and the implications. The legends of The Flying Dutchman, The Wandering Jew, and Prometheus need to be explained, as well as the symbol of the anchor, and the implications of hopelessness. I'll do a little bit about the style, but her style needs to be explained by someone more qualified. --Masterfeatherpen 15:17, 24 September 2007 (UTC) Who keeps deleting the information on style and criticism and symbology? Whoever is, the information is relevant, and it is well written. If you don't like the way that it is written, than write one yourself, because the information IS NEEDED.

Serious clean-up and additional real-world information required[edit]

At present this is a massive plot summary preceded by a "go out and buy this now" lead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.174.192.80 (talk) 20:20, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
