Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alexander's Choice
From what I can find, the only place that has actually reported on this book is the Daily Mail, which is far from a reliable source as far as Wikipedia goes. Their tabloid nature on other things makes it unusable even for the other things such as book commentary. I don't particularly have anything against it being userfied, but the article slightly smacks of  when you consider that portions of it were/are written like it was  by the original editor and there is a faint promotional/sensationalistic tone to it. I removed the "themes" section outright because it read more like OR or an opinion piece than a real theme section and lacked sources to back up the claims of the themes. The thing about theme sections is that you have to have something to back it up and verify that these are actual themes and not just something that you personally read into it. It's not the worst I've read, but it's bad enough to where I'd recommend that if this is userfied, it would be a very good idea to have it looked over by another editor. Fair note for any coming in: I might end up cleaning the article up to remove the worst of the prose or I might leave the rest "as is", as I don't really think this has a snowball's chance of surviving unless the book gains a lot of coverage before the AfD's end
