Critical reception and sales

[edit]

The section heading 'Critical reception and sales' is inappropriate for the text that it heads. The text does not mention the critical reception of the work. Let it be noted that 'critical reception' does not mean the same as 'reception'. 86.185.218.86 (talk) 12:47, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have taken it up on myself to remove the heading 'Critical reception and sales'. The text (unaltered) now appears under the heading 'Reception'. If that is not acceptable, maybe the self-possessed Mr Fry will adjust it to his own liking. 86.185.218.86 (talk) 12:50, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redundancy

[edit]

This text: 'The Fry Chronicles tells of his life up to his 30th birthday, covering, over 425 pages, his time at university, his steady rise to success as a writer and performer, meeting Emma Thompson, Hugh Laurie and Rowan Atkinson, as he makes his way through countless sketch shows and his rise to fame on Saturday Live and Blackadder, while at the same time, his redaction of the musical Me and My Girl with Mike Ockrent becoming a global success, making him a modest fortune, while he was still in his twenties.' is followed by: 'Later chapters tell of his career in television, while recalling the many articles he has written as well as his adaptation of the musical Me and My Girl, which accounted for his early fortune. The book ends in August 1987, his 30th birthday, at his six bedroom house in Norfolk.' Note that 'Later chapters' makes no sense because no chapters have been mention. Also there is repetitious mention of Me and My Girl. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.185.218.86 (talk) 12:57, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have taken it up on myself to replace the second of those quoted passages with 'Subsequently, many articles he has written are recalled. The book ends in August 1987, his 30th birthday, at his six bedroom house in Norfolk.' If that is not acceptable, maybe the self-possessed Mr Fry will adjust it to his own liking. 86.185.218.86 (talk) 13:03, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
