I just capitalized the title

The title WASN'T CAPITALISED.

[edit] The Title

I own a copy, and it's capitalised. -- Greaser 04:03, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

If it isn't supposed to be capitalised then this article name is wrong. We need to move to "The bone people" and tell people that the article is actually called "the bone people". I wasted my time making edits. Skinnyweed 19:56, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

The correct title of the book is the bone people. Not in title case, as The Bone People. This was done, by the author for what she obviously felt wer valid reasons.

If you own a copy with the incorrect title, it is indeed a poor cousin.

Whether the title on the book itself uses initial capitals, no capitals at all or, in the case of the copy I own (Picador, 1985) is a matter of the publisher's - or even the graphic designer's - style and very unlikely to reflect the views of the author. Amended accordingly. specialknives 00:06, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Kerewins cancer?

I just finished the book yesterday and as far as I can remember Kerewin doesn't know she has cancer until after she burns the tower down, unless of course I completely missed the point? She's not running from Simon and Joe because shes sick but they have all been separated and she wants to leave to get away from another mess like she did before. Anyway that's what I think maybe we should edit tht second paragraph of the summary. Drac90 15/8/06 9.50
