x5 expanded, nominated on time, size ~ 2.2.k chars, no copy-vio detected, QPQ done. As for the hook, the line in the article doesn't mention 'Asia' at all. —Vensatry (talk) 05:54, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Vensatry: the hook fact has been added (with citation) in the lead section. --Skr15081997 (talk) 06:16, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
I agree with Gatoclass, and have struck the hook. Skr15081997, hooks must be interesting to readers, and this one just isn't. Are there any interesting facts in the article about the book or its contents? BlueMoonset (talk) 16:00, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
- Gatoclass, How about this:

- Before taking this one any further, I think the article needs a copyedit, it really doesn't explain the contents of the book very well at all IMO. Gatoclass (talk) 16:02, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
- Coyedited and added citations to every para. --Skr15081997 (talk) 02:07, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- IMO this article needs a lot more work to even qualify for Wikipedia. It is basically a book review, summarizing the book and citing the book as its main source. Only 16 percent of the article deals with critical reception, and the rest is content. The article presents every tidbit of information as "Roan discusses this" and "Roan discusses that". Who cares? What's the significance of the book? Yoninah (talk) 19:58, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
- I'm withdrawing this nomination. With 3 reviews the book meets the WP:NBOOKS criteria but the content section is nearly 80% of the article size. Not all new articles can be featured on the Main Page. --Skr15081997 (talk) 12:32, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
