- Lead and infobox
- I am not sure if the full book title is necessary in the infobox image’s caption as it seems somewhat redundant. I would include a credit to the artist and possibly a reference to the edition as done in the The Left Hand of Darkness article.
- I have two issues with the following sentence (The book was written for readers aged six and up with the moral that "money can't buy happiness", with the titular character portrayed as an Italian greyhound who learns this lesson.). It uses the “with…” sentence construction twice, which is slightly too repetitive. I also think the sentence is awkwardly constructed due to the repetition of “the moral” and “this lesson” parts. Maybe something like this (The book was written for readers aged six and up with the titular character portrayed as an Italian greyhound who learns the moral that "money can't buy happiness”.) would work better?
- For this part (Madonna wrote the story reflecting on her life's journey), I think you can just say “life” instead of “life’s journey”.
- For this sentence (She also made other promotional appearances on television talk shows and magazine interviews), you would need to add a work in front of “magazine interviews” as she cannot appear “on” magazine interviews.
- For this part (It received mixed reviews with book critics finding some humor in the story), I would say “book critics, who found” rather than the current wording as it reads somewhat strangely to me.
- For this part (humor in the story but felt it did not fare well alongside Paes' illustrations, which received positive feedback), I would add a comma between “story” and “but”.
- Synopsis
- This sentence (So he sought out the opinion of all the well-known doctors of the land regarding his misery, but failed.) feels incomplete. How did he fail? Did he fail in finding doctors, finding an answer?
- For this part (who had always put forth his own needs before), I would use “first” instead of “before”.
- For this part (Throughout their journey Forfilla), I would add a comma after “journey”.
- For this part (Lotsa was able to put someone else's need before him,), I would say “his own” instead of “his”. I also do not think the comma is necessary.
- Background and writing
- The image caption needs punctuation as it is a complete sentence.
- Design and illustrations
- I would revise this (She suggested him to travel to Siena and Rome) to one of these two options “She suggested he should travel to…” or “She suggested for him to travel to…”.
- Publication and reception
- The image caption needs punctuation as it is a complete sentence.
- Final comments
- Once my comments are addressed, I will pass this as a GA. Hope you are having a great weekend so far. Aoba47 (talk) 03:16, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
- Verdict
- Thank you for addressing everything! I will ✓ Pass this as a GA. Have a great rest of your day! Aoba47 (talk) 18:34, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
