All this material is original (I wrote it). The quotations were indeed from the book cover and were cited accordingly, please delete if this is against the rules. I do believe, however, that the last sentence of my review should be preserved which follows those cited reviews.
(An observation - it is strange that such a fuss is made over cited reviews given the ownership of all our Wikipedia entries by (effectively) a single individual).

[edit] Suspected copyvio reverted
NHSavage recently merged a plot summary originally contributed by 24.127.101.24 into this article. I have tentatively reverted the merge, since the style (including the presence of review quotes) makes me suspect the text may have been copied from a back cover blurb or an advertisement. However, I have been unable to find a matching original on the web, so I have no actual evidence of this being a copyright violation, just a personal hunch.
The original unmerged version by 24.127.101.24 can be found here. If you recognize the source, please let me know. If you are, in fact, the original author of the text, please say so. In that case I have nothing against including it in the article. Any (non-copyvio) improvements to the current version are also welcome. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 20:54, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup
This article has many punctuational and capitilizational errors. Having read the book, the information presented in this article is impeccable in its accuracy, but this is overshadowed by the general messiness. The mistakes should be promptly recitified if possible.
[edit] Cleanup (continued)
I neglected to note in my first post that these mistakes are most probably the result of vandalization rather than the original author.
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Charlotte doyle.jpg
Image:Charlotte doyle.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Charlotte's father
Charlott's father was described in this article as tyrannous, though it is never mentioned in the book. I changed the word to ardent, which is mentioned in the chapter called "An Important Warning" in the following sentence: "My father, an ardent believer in regularity and order..."--Idontknow610 13:44, 15 November 2007 (UTC)idontknow610
