[edit] Non-encyclopedic material

This page reads like a promotion for the author's work rather than an encyclopedia entry. For example, the starting sentence "His inspiration for writing..." would probably be better replaced with some basic biographical information, i.e. where Shusterman was born and where he went to school. Paragraphs like ""Unwind," his most controversial and thought provoking novel to date, was published in November 2007. He considers it to be his best novel, in part because his children have told him that it is." should probably be replaced with something more neutral like a list of book titles.

Currently the only source of this material is the author's own website, which is naturally promotional. If material from a good 3rd party reference was introduced, it would help the article. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 23:23, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
