===POV===

I don't like this sentence at all:

'While the Power of the Dog is a fictional novel, the tremendous effort in historic and cultural research by the author is very evident. A documentary was created and shown on HBO going over the aspects and historic areas covered by Don Winslow's novel.'

'Fictional novel' is a tautology, and we can't use this sort of slack talk on a literature page; 'tremendous effort' strikes me as PR-speak.Sartoresartus (talk) 00:09, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

===Plot summary=== This is a bit short. Is there a way to mention that Keller compromises himself (perhaps irrevocably) in the process? Or where would that have to go? Sartoresartus (talk) 00:09, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

===List of characters=== Is this an absolutely essential part of these novel pages? Seems pointless. Sartoresartus (talk) 00:09, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

===Importance=== Don't think it's all that unimportant. Big pop novels on big controversial themes like this have an impact. Compare Gorky Park. Sartoresartus (talk) 00:10, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article is an advertsement for the book. --91.45.116.151 (talk) 08:06, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
