Untitled[edit]

I don't know how to edit this, but the synopsis is so wildly off the mark that one wonders if the writer even read the book. The use of "Cupid's arrow" and "macho attributes" are absurd. Can someone who has read this book please change this?

As far as moving the spoiler warning farther down, please see my comments at Talk:The Lady Vanishes. KF 17 Sept 2002

That is a crap synopsis.

agreed, at times it's more of a review or analysis than a summary, and it's not really that accurate. I added subheadings so that it might be easier to start changing the wording; some of the phrasing is peculiar eg "At roughly the same time Cupid's arrow hits Lynch-Gibbon again."

The synopsis is, among other things, inaccurate and highly subjective. Martin proclaims repeatedly in the course of the book that he loves Antonia very much contrary to the synopsis' claim that his marriage was of convenience rather than love. In agreement with Klauw's notation of "Cupid's arrow" there is also the comment on the "number of macho attributes" which is unexplained and inappropriate. The synopsis reads like someone's blog review rather than something I should expect to find in Wikipedia. Tandykins (talk) 02:44, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
