I'm glad to see your work here. I do have some insights based on the above checklist that I think will improve the article:
I think the lead can be improved in order to provide an accessible overview and to give relative emphasis.

Hi Seabuckthorn, thank you for your quick and thorough review. I have adjusted the plot section to avoid the short paragraph and added more plot details to the lead. If you like, I could be more explicit about the fact that child abuse is discussed, though I'd rather not add the plot twist to the lead. J Milburn (talk) 17:16, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
