[edit] Good Ideas, But Low Quality

I will make some some copy-edits, but sheesh, it is like a bad high school essay in parts:

There is some criticism toward the novel concerning the seemingly lack of direction and endless description.

Controversy about the small-town portrayal of vicious back-stabbers and hypocrites was also probably a factor in the novel's popularity; in 1920, it was a heralded thought to live in an area like Gopher Prairie--a notion hilariously denounced with Main Street's powerful inculcation.

[edit] You Can Say That Again

The page has no citations for any of the views stated in it. I added some information to be helpful, but it might be better for someone to just re-write the entire article.--Dreamingblue (talk) 03:43, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
