Comment: Due to the recent release of the Netflix series, interest is high on this topic now; both the author's article[3] and TV series[4] are getting over 80,000 views per day, so expediting this DYK would be beneficial.
Neutral: - I think you should mention the criticism of the book, for example [5] and [6]. Also, "bestselling" is a term that should be avoided in Wikipedia voice because there are many bestseller lists and it's inherently vague and comes off as promotional.
Overall: Nice new article! buidhe 01:58, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Buidhe: Thanks for the quick review! I removed the bestseller line and added material from one of the two articles you suggested. The other was a review of a different book, "Exodus" by the author. RobP (talk) 04:31, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
, OK assuming the word "bestseller" is left out of the hooks, I think this meets DYK requirements. Approving, buidhe 04:36, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
