Why we should have this article
editI think that this book is sufficiently important to be part of wikipedia. Therefore, I have created a draft here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Onefive15 (talk • contribs) 15:28, 8 March 2009
Prod
editHang on a second, this book actually looks like its pretty notable. Let me try and expand it. Regards, FingersOnRoids 20:28, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
A video worth watching
editThis is a YouTube video in which the author makes an appearance on Bill O'Reilly's show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kssS_TEeQfU&feature=rec-HM-fresh+div Onefive15 (talk) 21:46, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
Plot: incomplete?
editHey there. I think that the summery offered at the book's website leaves out parts in the published version. See http://www.justaplant.com/story/15end.html (you can get to there by clicking through the "story" part of the site). Does anyone own a tangible copy?Onefive15 (talk) 21:46, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
Yes, you're right, I couldn't get a complete version of the book. I tried to finish off the plot with information from a newspaper book review, but someone with the actual book should make the last part a little more detail. Also, please sign your comments with ~~~~. This helps in identifying who said what. Regards, FingersOnRoids 21:14, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
Assessment
editAs requested on [[WP:YA|WikiProject Children's Literature, I have read through this article for assessment, and I agree with the current rating of Start class. To improve, I reccomend rewriting the Plot section to avoid an in-universe perspective, and extending the non-plot secions of the article - improving 'Critical Response' and adding more sections, explaining why the author wrote the book and other background information. If you have any comments on this assessment, please leave them on my talk page. strdst_grl (call me Stardust) 20:52, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
