[edit] Review by dlindner:
- Coverage and factuality: 8
- Writing style: 5
- Structure: 3
- Aesthetics: 5
- Overall: 5
Plot Intro is thin and a little lopsided--why give the tune such importance and leave out other major story elements?
Plot section contains a straightforward and reasonably thorough summary.
Themes section could be improved with discussion of the major themes of the book (telepathy and its effects, oedipus complex, etc) in addition to discussion of the interesting usage of typography.
Inconsistent typographical treatment of names in 'Characters' section.
Being the first Hugo winner, more discussion of how this book broke new ground, and in what ways it has been influential, might be in order. The discussion of pulps, noir stereotypes and cyberpunk themes are a great start--expand on them.
Could use additional citations, external links, etc.
Some grammar errors throughout.
