 * Comment: The book has received at least two reviews from newspapers, the Washington Times and The Guardian. I can't find the Independent source, but if that could be found that would be a nice addition as well. Booklist also reviewed the book, which should be seen as reliable given that it's from the American Library Association. It also received a review from Lituanus, so this should pass NBOOK.

 * Keep The book covered in the article "has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself", so it passes WP:BOOKCRIT. Bakazaka (talk) 06:06, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep: The Independent site's dire search facility hasn't helped verify the Alan Sillitoe's listing of it as a 2003 book of the year in "The Independent on Sunday", but even without that the Guardian and Washington Times items should suffice for WP:NBOOK criterion 1.
