Comments on assessment[edit]

I assessed this article as C class, because I expect some more sections on world information, including a publication history/background and some exploration of themes and style as separate from the criticism. Hope this helps, cheers!Sadads (talk) 14:58, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the plot and character sections could use a little more work, checking for both style and clarity. Sadads (talk) 15:01, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the assessment. Adding additional sections might be a problem because there's not that much more information available that I can find. But I'll have a look, and I'll also look at the plot and character sections. —Bruce1ee^talk 06:40, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You even note some style things in the Critical review section, such as the choice of characters being un-feminist. Even expanding upon that with an intention would be fine. Something I have notice about character and plot sections is that they always seem to have much the same information. I always recommend, when I am doing GA reviews that the characters be integrated into the plot section, unless of course their are an obtuse number of important characters or their is significant scholarship on the characters themselves,Sadads (talk) 07:17, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the advise. I'll have a look at expanding it. —Bruce1ee^talk 09:17, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
