To be honest, I'm not too sure what this is supposed to be. It's an unreferenced 11 year old article about a 1995 novel that fails to establish the novel's notability. It looks like an IP editor added the big third paragraph in 2008, and it has remained that way since. With or without it, this article does not establish the book's notability. – numbermaniac 14:04, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

- Keep I found two reviews plus a mention on a best books for teaching. Given the age of the book I did have to find the reviews behind paywalls, but I have added citations for all three to the article and removed the poorly worded plot summary. This was not a complete search so more reviews might be out there. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 22:31, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
- Keep. Satisfies GNG and NBOOK with multiple book reviews. James500 (talk) 01:33, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
