[edit] Wikipedia articles are not reviews
"The Birds' Alfred Hitchcock movie is what we all think of when we think "The Birds", but the fascinating book by Daphne du Maurier is completley different to the 1963 film starring Tippi Hedren, Rod Taylor and Jessica Tandy:..." -- If that is not POV, nothing is. 1) "We think" Well that might be true for most people, but I don't think that can be justified for all. 2) "fascinating book" should be simply "book". And another thing: the article previously says that it is a "short story". So which is it: book or short story? MichaelSH 01:33, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
It's definitely a short story. That's why it's in quotation marks. Anyway, we read it in Literature class and our teacher calls in a short story. Kickasskat 17:18, 22 October 2006 (UTC)kickasskat
[edit] The Birds...
This article is a bit of a mess, especially the second paragraph. I'm going to try to fix it up a little, though. If anyone dislikes my changes, feel free to revert it to the way it was.
[edit] No structure, bad summary, interpretation missing
That article is a mess. It has no clear structure, a interpretation is missing and the summary sums up unimportant things. I think that summary should be rewritten completly and a interpretation, which follows all directions, should be added. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.185.13.224 (talk) 15:37, 25 February 2007 (UTC).
