Style Issues

Everything from Plot Summary downwards reads like a school book report. This includes use of informal language (predominantly in the plot summary) and original research (unreferenced discussion of symbolism). There is a complete lack of references to the text, but I am not sure if this is expected in articles on books.

The entire article from Plot Summary downwards needs to be rewritten for style and significant chunks (namely everything on symbolism) should probably be removed entirely. With the amount of time that the content has been in the article, it is difficult for me to determine if any of it is plagiarized, but it seems likely that large sections of text that ignore the manual of style would be lifted from somewhere.

I would like to have a more experienced editor take a look at the issues present. 70.72.198.177 (talk) 05:29, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Banned in Canada

This book is banned in many schools in Ontario. Why is this not mentioned on the page? This was huge news, so huge that it was even addressed in the world famous Banned Books Calendar — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.67.131.193 (talk) 11:41, 21 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
