[edit] We All Fall Down

The article about Robert Cormier's novel We All Fall Down looks like it was written by a talented high school student -- and I mean that non-sarcastically, as it's got some value to it, but it needs a rewriting. It's self-contradictory at points (for example, it says in one place that the novel was written in 1975, but in another location says that it doesn't say when it takes place, so could be set anytime in "the 80s or 90s", etc.). I've got a bit too much on my plate to rewrite the article, but I think the information the original article author provided needs to be reconstituted into a rewritten article, I think. I'd normally give it a try, but life's just a little too crazy for me to be doing massive rewrites. Not that you guys have it any easier, I"m sure. — WCityMike ^{(T | C)} 23:04, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

I did some cleanup on it. I removed the self contradictory line as redundant. Is stepped down a flight of stairs a British term for knock/throw down a flight of stairs? RJFJR 17:26, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Never heard it used before in UK.--Christopherneale 09:59, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

The edits by 82.171.5.144 around April need to be reversed. -- Anon 23:27, 1 May 2006 (CET)

[edit] Other book!

There is a new book of the same title by Eric Walters. What do I do? Am00nz0r5 22:11, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Publication date

We need to track down the date of first publication. Article currently says 1975, but a review I found at Amazon.com implies it was written after 1990. Which would make the Hardcover version published by Delacorte Books for Young Readers on September 1, 1991 a possible first release. RJFJR 04:06, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Amazon.com's preview for the book says it was in 1991. Sophy's Duckling 18:55, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

It was 1991 (October in fact). First edition ISBN added, need to confirm 1st edition cover or replace! :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 09:43, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
