I think everything is good to go. However, I would recommend removing the word actually in the hook. It doesn't sound encyclopedic. Once done, please ping me on my talk page so I can finish up with the review. Étienne Dolet (talk) 08:01, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

"Actually" is removed, but I'll give you ALT1 below:

... that Kirkus Reviews called Sonali Deraniyagala's non-fiction memoir book Wave one of the "Best Books of 2013 for Vicarious Experiences You'll Never Forget"?

I am awaiting your re-review. George Ho (talk) 09:44, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

ALT1 isn't bad, but Reviewers and critics many a times call it such; but for me the base fact (the original hook) looks good. Ethically ^(Yours) 09:48, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

The article is long and new enough. 1,500+ characters. I would go with the original hook. Unless the author insists on using the ALT1. I can rereview that hook only then. Nice article! Looking forward to see it on the main page! Étienne Dolet (talk) 19:03, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
