Point of view

The plot summary, while basically accurate, reads like it was written by someone in the publisher's marketing department. This line, in particular, reads more like a bit of advertising copy than summary: "Plans are made, people get drunk, and the stage is set for the shaking up everyone's future." The summary is full of bits like this - lines and word choices which give exactly zero information, but seem designed to entice more people to read the book. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.88.219.23 (talk) 09:09, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, that wasn't my intention. I got about 70% through the plot summary and I figured somebody else would finish it off.

Part of the problem about giving information is, well, it takes work. Sometimes I couldn't find the bits I was trying to remember, so I often stuck to writing generic truth instead of informational maybe-not-actual-truth. Choor monster (talk) 15:43, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
