Not a novel?

[edit]

In the section listing the changes between the book and the TV adaptation, an IP editor left the comment "It's not a novel" after one of the instances of the phrase "In the novel". If that IP would like to discuss why the book is not a novel and propose changes to the article, this would be the place to do it. Thank you. Susfele (talk) 00:41, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • The lateness makes this pretty useless to the original questioner, but for anyone who sees and is also wondering, my guess to why the IP thought it wasn't a novel would be length. The book is like 20,000 words; the generally lowest accepted length for a novel is 40,000 but the vast majority of novels exceed double that; however, I would say that if it is marketed as a novel then it should be referred to as such: I believe a similar discussion was held for Of Mice and Men which was marketed as a novel but was about 30,000 words.
