Lead
Look at other book articles: the lead shouldn't be (just) plot summary. Find something thematic. I'm missing the stuff about the librarian, by the way, which you could mention in the lead. At some point, in the main article, I want to see something about how the author went to a prison to study the librarian. But more importantly the lead should mention something about the theme and the context of the book. "...and the redemptive power of books" is a nice phrase (I hope it's yours) but it shouldn't just hang there, tagged at the end of a sentence about plot, since that is in fact one of the themes of the book. How do I know? I listened to the thing on NPR... Good luck, Dr Aaij (talk) 20:19, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
