I'm glad to see your work here. I do have some insights based on the above checklist that I think will improve the article:

  • I think the lead can be improved in order to provide an accessible overview and to give relative emphasis.

Besides that, I think the article looks excellent. Josh, please feel free to strike out any recommendation from this review which you think will not help in improving the article which is our main aim here. All the best, --Seabuckthorn  03:38, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Seabuckthorn, thank you for your quick and thorough review. I have adjusted the plot section to avoid the short paragraph and added more plot details to the lead. If you like, I could be more explicit about the fact that child abuse is discussed, though I'd rather not add the plot twist to the lead. J Milburn (talk) 17:16, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! Thanks! The plot section looks perfect now. Thanks, Josh, very much for your extraordinary diligence, care and precision in your contributions. --Seabuckthorn  18:15, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Promoting the article to GA status. --Seabuckthorn  18:15, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
