Talk:Monsters of Men

Plot summary

"This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. ..."

The boilerplate tag is ludicrous understatement here. --P64 (talk) 02:55, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

Sources

Beside the Carnegie Medal (CILIP) material that is now referenced in the article --[ref name=medal2011/] Living Archive capsule citation (book and author blurbs) and [ref pr2011/] Medal announcement press release, other contemporary press releases are available online. (the announcement is underutilized, too)

• [ref name=prdir2011] "Releases for 2011 Awards". Press Desk. CILIP. Retrieved 2012-07-30.[/ref]

Two releases 23 June 2011 feature Ness and Monsters of Men. Two earlier releases 1 April 2011 may be useful, "Shortlist ... announced" and "... Judges comments on the shortlist".

Both 23 June press releases are now formal references but I have not used them substantially although they are sure to be useful.

The CILIP "Shadowing Site" seems at a glance to serve a youth program for the current/latest year, without any archive, but old material may be available.

P.S. This article uses The Guardian coverage of 2011 Carnegie, and I have elsewhere its coverage of the 2012 Carnegie/Greenaway Medals. It may be readily available and useful for earlier years too. The newspaper's coverage of its own Guardian Prize is readily available online from year 2000. -P64 2012-07-30

Plot Summary

Because of the addition at the end of the Plot Summary, with it saying "The novel ends with hope that he'll return," even without the novel directly saying he will. Would it also be reasonable then to add something about how that if he does return he will have the Voice of The Land? (Like Ben did.) This is a somewhat important plot aspect, and it is directly inferred to as happening should he awake, because he was experiencing the Spackle memories. --Arno0098 (talk) 07:20, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
