I would fist like to point out that this was my first full article and was created as part of a project- and though the article is factual I had to include an element that would not normally be considered appropriate for such an article concerning something relatively minor in the scheme of things- the section "Critical Reception". I really would like to see this article stay up on Wikipedia (as said in my handout in my project: "... provinding material for future generations of students to cheat off of..." [though not that is not the real reason I want this article to stay up]), but I feel that the article needs some changes.

I believe the following changes should be made to make the article more encyclopedic:

Include an Image of the book: I myself am not familiar with the terms and conditions of uploading and/or including images into Wikipedia articles especially in this case considering the cover of the book would be a copyrighted work.
Delete Section "Critical Reception": Required for the project, however I believe there is too little information here to be of significance in the article as the book lacks substantial reviews (trust me- I broke my back trying to find even semi-valuable sources and reviews) and (for now[?]) does not have a notable influence on modern culture or literature. However if more information on the book's critical reception and reviews can be found that would make this entry more meaningful I am all for keeping the section.
I feel that a few of the external hyperlinks should be deleted as they do not redirect to the most reliable of sources (though a minimum number of links was required as part of a project [I apologize for their {temporary} inclusion]). WIth the exception of "Critical Reception", the entire article was based of information within the book and not from external sources. My problem is that I am not sure how I would reference the book itself as appropriate to Wikipedia*.
I feel that (at least parts of) the sub-section "Awards" should be deleted as this information sticks out like a sore thumb in the article and undermines the encyclopedic value of the article. That is stictly my opinion but I would like to hear what your take on that section is. I believe that, providing they are significant** enough, some of the awards should be kept.

It would also be greatly appreciated if someone could make improve the format of this article. (I know this was a boatload of text to swallow though, so sorry for that).

*I have more to say concerning this statement and my problem so if you are interested on helping me out with this problem I would greatly appreciate it (Message me if you are).

**I understand I am a little vague on how significant "Significant" is, but that is why we have a discussion page.
