Article needs major work

The synopsis begins "Tessa Gray should be happy -- aren't all brides happy?" Give me a break, is this an encyclopedia or a publisher's advert? This article needs to focus on why this novel is notable. Is it? Darx9url (talk) 04:46, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review - Mason Bissada

Lead

The lead does a good job of summarizing what the novel is and what it is about. I think in terms of the importance of the topic, maybe you could include some critical praise of it or some sort of sales record (NYT bestseller etc.). I appreciate that you didn't spoil the plot in the lead. I hate when wiki articles do that.

Structure

The sections are organized well. Plot should always be first, and the character section works as well. I would say that both sections run a bit too long. You don't want to give away the entire plot or describe tertiary characters in too much detail. I would also suggest adding a "reception" section containing the critical acclaim of the book.

Balance/Neutrality

The article felt extremely balanced and neutral. You did a good job of relaying information about the novel without letting your own opinion bleed through. There is no negative or positive, just information.

sourcing

It seems like you cited all your sources in the lead and went off your own summary of the book for the rest of the article. This is okay, but maybe including a "reception" section would allow you to cite your sources more. I noticed you cite book reviews, so this would be perfect for that.

Overall

The article does a great job (maybe too good) of summarizing the novel and giving an incite into the plot and characters. I would suggest adding a "reception" section and cutting some of the plot details and minor characters to make the article more concise and less dense. I will definitely attempt to emulate your level of detail for my own article!
