 * I'm kind of torn on this one. We have one interview, one review, and one brief mention of it being a top book of 2011 for the San Diego library system. The other review was written by Iranian.com, which would be a good source except that the author publishes regularly for the site and I'm not sure what the police is for reviews written by companies/newspapers that the author works for. (Such as a NYT journalist reviewing a book that one of their coworkers wrote.)Tokyogirl79 (talk) 10:54, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete does not appear to meet our book guidelines. Also note that it is the only book published by its publisher, which makes it the equivalent of a self-published/vanity-press work for our purposes. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  14:00, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete ‣ Yeah, doesn't meet WP:NBOOK. WorldCat shows it in more than a dozen libraries but it needs more critical attention than the One City One Book reading program and the local San Diego media article. -- ▸∮ truthious ᛔ andersnatch ◂ 18:12, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Not notable. No awards or reviews received by the novel also, looks like self-published and the author is not notable.  →TSU tp* 15:28, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
