My Secret History
Came across this new article of yours. I've cut a lot of it & thought I should tell you why as you are new to Wikipedia. Basic problem was that essentially what you had written was about your opinion of the book. It's a central principle of Wikipedia that what one writes should not be personal opinion, but should draw on reliable sources. So for this book you need to look for reviews in reputable sources.. (ie not amazon or goodreads, for example) and summarise in your own words what these sources say.TheLongTone (talk) 08:51, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
