This doesn't make any sense. It goes to talking about his daily life to being in court. Someone need to clean this up. And the part about it mom is really random. -I think that someone didn't edit the page correctly.

Well if you read the book it does make sense to give a quick recap of the book. And even in the book it switched topics and narators within every chapter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.63.13.181 (talk) 17:01, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The novel is non-chronological in order. It jumps between points of view as well as between moments in time. I think that the article needs to be expanded a bit. The way in which the novel is structured does make it slightly difficult to create a linear plot summary. It has, however, been quite some time since I have read the novel.

I agree withthe above statements. The current article lacks any coherence and is not even organised into paragraphs. It is a poor summary of the novel and is in dire need of revision. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.188.85.254 (talk) 06:34, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Summary[edit]

Hello. I note that the book is told through the use of oscillating narrative. It makes sense, however, that the article conveys what transpires in the novel in a linear sense as well as without jumping from character to character. Should the article be expanded upon? In what ways can the article be improved? For example, I think that Theo's frustration with Jacob deserves at least two or tgree sentences. Furthermore, the fact that Jacob's lawyer is Newly Qualified warrants some mention. Thank you. (Galaxycat (talk) 15:59, 15 July 2012 (UTC))[reply]
