Book is not notable. Article consists mainly of a plot summary. &amp;#9992; James C. (talk) 23:26, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - the article provides a reference to a NY Times book review. A Google News search turns up results behind pay walls that indicate reviews in other major dailies, and based on the search result, it was listed as "BEST SELLER HOPES FOR 1955" by the chicago Tribune.  As it is a 1955 novel, sources may not be as readily available online, but given the information already in the article as well as the news search results, it appears to be notabe.  The article could use a good dose of copy editting but that is not a reason for deletion. -- Whpq (talk) 16:18, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

 * Keep, coverage in the NYT, nominated for awards, and presumably covered in other contemporary sources. There's room for improvement, but that's true for pretty much all articles here.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 09:16, 23 August 2009 (UTC).
