Non-notable book, I can't find a single reliable source. Woogee (talk) 01:17, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There are reliable sources, including NYT, and others —siro χ o 02:27, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's a basic review; some opinions and a plot summary. I'd call it a "mixed" review. Studerby (talk) 17:49, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I'm conflicted on this one; the primary applicable standard is "multiple non-trivial published works". It looks as if the author's previous work was notable enough that this got a few reviews on the author's name, including the NYT one; the couple I dredged up for free were mixed and pretty minimal. However, the book seems to have developed a small fanbase and got used in at least some classroom instruction (see here. ATM, I'd call it a marginal delete, but I keep changing my mind. Folks more active with books in WP than I should make the call. Studerby (talk) 17:49, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Week keep - this was a difficult one. Apart from the coverage generated during its first release in 2005, the book seems to have developed a small cult fan base and from Gnews seems to be chosen for school reading lists.--Sodabottle (talk) 04:13, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
