Plagiarism
Most of this article seems to be copy-pasted from a guardian book review unfortunately 80.248.183.225 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 12:23, 1 October 2008 (UTC).

Tone
This article's subject is fine, but it reads like a book review.--NeoNerd 10:54, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, part of it is a subjective review of the novel. Anyway, I have made the effort to provide background information to the writing of the novel by its author, a plot summary and his own personal views on the state of 'modern Britain'. Please feel free to tweak it to Wikipedia's encyclopedia 'tone' if you feel this is required Ivankinsman 11:04, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Just finished the book, and feel that the plot summary given in the article is confusing and a little hard to follow. Would anybody object if I attmepted to write a new one? Jjmbarton 12:07, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Can somebody please edit this to NPOV or something remotely neutral? 87.194.113.30 (talk) Reader —Preceding comment was added at 17:05, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't think this calls for "tweaking" so much as a complete rewrite - could someone please have a crack at doing this article from scratch? Vikingwoman2 (talk) 20:04, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Accuracy
Either you read a different book or didn't finish it Spoilers follow The character doesn't join the startup newspaper or become a historical novelist.-- His murder of a woman at university catches up with him and he is committed to a secure hospital. The last third of the book deals with his arrest, trial and incarceration. Spoilers end 222.154.97.16 07:49, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

O.K. apologies - had some incorrect information. Have revised the plot summary accordingly. Ivankinsman 13:05, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
