Interesting and well-written article! The prose flows smoothly, and the facts are well referenced. As a person who's never read this book, I enjoyed reading this article very much. It only needs a few tweaks here and there, and I think it'll soon be ready to be a GA. :)

  • The book's title is a reference to the term "the orange people" – which was used to refer to members of the Osho movement due to the color they dyed their clothes[2] <- I believe there should be a period at the end.
  • My Life in Orange received generally positive reception in book reviews <- this sounds a little awkward (maybe "generally positive reviews" or something).
  • ...video games, titled: Second Lives: A Journey Through Virtual Worlds, published in 2008 by Random House.[9] Not sure if it's necessary to put the : after titled.
  • Guest's mother became a follower of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh when Guest was a toddler,[13] after listening to a cassette tape of Rajneesh which displayed the cover text "Surrender to me, and I will transform you",[6] and was titled: "Meditation: the art of ecstasy".[14] Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh taught his followers his perspective on chaotic therapy, sexual freedom and mysticism.[2] Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh should be linked on first usage.
  • Guest was at times moved to communes and sent to live without his mother.[17] I think "...moved at times to communes.." might sound better.

The links all seem sound, and the article is immersing - it actually makes me want to read the book. I hope this article can become a GA soon! :) Love, → Clementina [ Scribble ] 04:15, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for the kind words about the article! ;) I will read over the review, and do my best to address the above. -- Cirt (talk) 04:21, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Done, addressed all of the above helpful recommendations from the GA Reviewer, and noted as such, in the edit summaries, with "per GA Review". Thanks again for the review and the good suggestions which improved the quality of the article! :) Cheers, -- Cirt (talk) 04:47, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Great, all my picky remarks have been satisfied beautifully - there's just one more comment, and I think this article is ready for GA. :) I don't think Rajneesh movement is necessary in the "See also" section since it's linked in the main text of the article. → Clementina [ Scribble ] 05:11, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Removed it. -- Cirt (talk) 05:13, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
