Review by Webdinger

[edit]
  • Coverage and factuality: 1
  • Writing style: 8
  • Structure: 5
  • Aesthetics: 6
  • Overall: 5

An exciting topic for a science-fiction book, but overall, not enough coverage. There are absolutely no references to speak of, and a section I would most definitely have expected, external links, is not included. The writing style is concise and encyclopedic in general, but the plot summary is written in somewhat excitable tones (as if the editor has read the book and is a relatively big fan). The structure of the article is quite simple, but not notable. Aesthetics are slightly above average for an article of this nature, yet generally unremarkable. — Webdinger BLAH | SZ 02:42, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
