Working Title:
The Lost Symbol
Dan Brown’s long awaited new novel following the exploits of professor Robert Langdon… which I haven’t read yet! But I just feel like writing about something that’s been bugging me…
The DaVinci Code – Mysterious sounding, memorable, especially since referring to the famous inventor.
Angels and Demons – Powerful, simple, contrasting ideas.
The Lost Symbol – Oh, right… this is a grown up book?
Yeahh… it’s a bad title. But that is not my main point of focus. As it turns out, (actually, I’d know this for ages) the working title of the new novel was ‘The Solomon Key’… which sounds a hundred times better! Another reference to a famous historical figure, ‘Key’ could stand for another code or perhaps an artifact… it brings about intrigue.
What I think happened… at some stage somebody asked Dan Brown what the working title of his new book was, and having misheard the question (or just being stupid), he gave out the ACTUAL title!
Poor show Dan...
The Lost Symbol does genuinely sound like some sort of children’s book, and is definitely an uninspiring title for adult fiction.
I’m sure it’s a good read, but the disappointment will always linger… and in a year or two they’ll have made a cringe-worthy movie for it which will sound very juvenile and unimpressive.
*sigh*
I think I’ll stick to my graphic novels for now though!
