Talk:The God Beneath the Sea

"further than [they'd] ever been taken before"
Quoting "Development and themes", paragraph three, as I have tweaked it; template who? added:
 * They shared a concern about recent developments in children's literature and society's attitudes towards children. They felt that older children's literature had been moving closer to adult literature, and that the book had taken them "further than [they'd] ever been taken before" towards that end.

The last clause (bold) is unchanged because I don't know enough to word it more clearly. Probably it means that this book had taken G & B as authors further than before in advancing the recent development in children's literature that concerned them both. If this is true and the meaning is joint we should briefly cover G&B's previous work together. If true separately we should somehow indicate that G & B had separately participated in the development previous to this book together.

If "taken them further" refers to "older children" or to Greek myths then the need for some rewrite is desperate. --P64 (talk) 01:35, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Peer review
Quoting the Novels banner above, "This article is currently undergoing a peer review." Evidently that is not true. And there is no substantial comment on the target page, but a request for peer review dated 18 November 2009. (as I understand it -P64)

Technically it is "undergoing" review but that means only that it is on the list WikiProject Novels/Peer review. There is no substantial comment after three years later. In effect it's a request that has been unanswered. --P64 (talk) 19:31, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
