Bias[edit]

Many errors : i.e. the book has 4 chapters (to divide it in two parts is caricatural), the narrative is not retrospective, etc. I just finished it today. But read the book, it's a great one. 81.241.31.142 22:07, 23 March 2007 (UTC) Mag[reply]

What the FUCK?! This is a review, not an impartial article. --62.255.236.149 22:59, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Though I would not state the matter in exactly the manner 62.255.236.149 did, he or she is correct in stating that this reads as a book review, not an impartial article. If I felt qualified, I would rewrite the article myself, but I do not know enough about the book to do so. ---Charles 22:47, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm currently reading the book. Once I finish, I think I'll try to rewrite this article. Anyone want to help? Tudwell 02:41, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It needs to be rewritten with more info, but I do not find it to be a review if it gives the plot overview instead of a personal oppinion on said work.
