 * Symbol question.svgle is new and long enough; QPQ done. It is inline cited to reliable sources; no major issues with close paraphrasing discovered via spotchecks. The hook fact though is pretty much a copy of the source; but I believe it is too short to qualify as copyvio. It is kind of interesting; though the article doesn't tell anymore about the novel; so those who find the hook interesting may be a bit disappointed. I don't see any other particular obvious hook options in the, so approving this with a slight rewrite (present tense skipping parantheses). Though not a critical issue for DYK approval, the last paragraph, Reviews, it pretty badly written, and part of the second sentence is for instance almost incomprehensible to me ("pessimism felt in the country in the development and futherance of social norms was due to political reasons which had resulted in the decline in the "Golden age" perception of the country"), so I hope this could be improved somewhat. I also think the section maybe should be called "Views" or similar, rather than Reviews, as it doesn't really consist of reviews. I see it's translated from Spanish Wiki. Almost GTG, but pinging for comment. Iselilja (talk) 16:27, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review. Section heading changed to 'Views'. The sentences are corrected. Hope it meets your observations.-- Nvvchar . 06:40, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
