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.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing:
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.
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Nice new article! b uidhe 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, b uidhe 04:36, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
