Clarification on "only three sentences"

[edit]

Maybe I'm just being a bit slow but genuinely until I actually googled a picture of the inside of the book I thought the article and DYK prompt were saying there were only 3 sentences in the entire book, not per page. Personally "across 384 illustrated pages, only three sentences comprise Jason Reynolds' text" sound to me like there's 384 illustrated pages and only 3 sentences in the entire book and so I was very confused and was sure there was a mistake somewhere until seeing the picture. – Mesidast (talk) 09:04, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I was also confused by this and previewed the google book for clarification. I think it’s based on the technicality that there’s only one sentence each ‘breath’ as they are each run on sentences. So I guess it’s true but it might be helpful for the reader to know that they’re run on sentences and that text is on the majority of pages. Definitely helps the reader better understand the book stylistically. 111hip 12:07, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
