Delete. Contested PROD but does not meet WP:BK. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 00:24, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep, does meet WP:BK, both Criteria 1 and Criteria 5. It's a real book, written by a notable author, Christopher Moore, and published by by an imprint of HarperCollins, one of the largest publishing houses in the US. There's tons of media coverage by reliable sources out on the web. The article is currently in poor shape and it does need to be cleaned up, but that's not the same as meriting deletion.--Hongkongresident (talk) 00:43, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Just because the article doesn't prove coverage doesn't mean that it's not there. PrincessofLlyr ^{royal court} 17:38, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep Morrow wouldn't publish a third book if the series wasn't working well. Notable publisher + high sales rank = notable book. Possibly could do with a bit more coverage, but until someone proves it a hoax, it's notable.
