I don't think this book passes WP:NBOOK. It would have passed criteria #2, but it was only nominated for an award. Regardless, the entire article is just a plot summary. Natureium (talk) 19:16, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. This book made a major impact and passes criteria #1. A quick look gives reviews in the Guardian, The New York Times, and The New England Jourjnal of Medicine, as well as 700 citations in Google Scholar.
