Parable of the Sower (novel)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because the topic is about a post apocalyptic work of fiction and it is a story I have read and enjoyed. It matters because it is a story from a notable author and it is in the mid importance section for both WikiProject Novels and WikiProject Women Writers. The first thing I notice is how small a lot of the sections are.

Evaluate the article
The Lead section of the article only contains the introductory sentence, it could be expanded. All of the content is relevant to the topic. The plot section is short, especially since the popular culture section is much larger. The tone of the article is neutral and very matter of fact. A vast majority of the references are from good sources, like the American Library Association and news sites, like The New York Times. The references are current to with the latest one being from last year. Some of the links still work and many lack authors.

The article is easy to read and comprehend.

The only image available in this article is the book cover of one of the editions and it has a copyright fair use issue.

Within the talk section, the only conversation there happens to be about the use of a copyright image.

The article is a start class of mid importance, so there is a lot that needs to be improved. The first thing that stands out to me is the plot section, it needs to be expanded, especially since this is a novel. There are no details about any of the other characters, except for Lauren. There are no references about themes in the book.
