Critiques of article from 2007

This article is very obviously written by someone with a bias toward the Chicken Soup books. For example, critics of the books are "harping"? this is not NPOV. Nor is claiming that the manuscript wasn't bought immediately because of "prejudices and pretentions" of the editorial boards. In summation, this article reads like an advertisement, and should be re-written or deleted.

Thankfully, it seems to have been fixed since then. Still, it's very stubby and needs an infobox (hence the assessment above). I'm somewhat surprised and more than a little disappointed, considering how popular these books have been, how much of a phenomenon they were for a while, and how they've been around for as many years as they have. You'd think it'd at least be Start class by now! 63.21.80.135 04:16, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'm pretty surprised the article doesn't have basic things like date first published, a picture, or an article for a list of the titles. Wikipedia, you've let me down tonight. --Piroteknix 23:02, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Parody?

I believe there were a number of parody books. There general is for books, films, etc. 66.191.19.217 (talk) 02:08, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification requested

"a collection of short and dense inspirational stories" - is this "dense" meaning the stories come thick and fast, or "dense" meaning stupid? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.136.143.173 (talk) 08:36, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Topic of the article

Is this article about the company or about the book series? It cannot cover both. Daß Wölf 01:53, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The publisher still exists

according to Deadline. So much of this article should likely be split as Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment. Nardog (talk) 23:14, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
