With less than one week until the
highly anticipated release of Dan Brown’s new ‘novel’, millions of ‘readers’
around the world are bursting with expectation.

publishing phenomenon and was the bestselling adult hardback of all time.
(Editor’s note: this is the
most watched TV show of all time.)
hand-picked elite have been permitted to read the manuscript in full. Brown’s
publicist has been secretive and mysterious, enticing slavering fans with such
elusive comments as:
“More of the same really. You
know, mysteries and shit. Hey! Amigo! I said I want that jag BUFFED comprende?”
And “You know the Da Vinci Code? Yeah,
it’s like that, but different and junk. Who do I have to stab to get a latte in
here?”

Marilyn Prior, a 33 year old

Langdon guy and all of a sudden I just started puking like I’d eaten half a
pound of rotten flesh. I mean, I was really hurling, a complete exorcist style
projectile purge. One minute I’m engrossed in this charmingly predictable
middle-brow narrative, and the next I’m blowing chunks. Weird.”
“I dunno, it was like, it had words and
everything. I started reading but then remembered that I should probably check
my email. I updated my facebook, myspace and twitter status to say: Reading
teh new Dan Brown ZOMG! And then I got all
these replies and they were like OMFG! Wots it like? And I was like have you read the Da Vinci
Code? It’s basically like that, but different.”
The question on everyone’s lips
is ‘will this book exceed the exhilarating mediocrity of the Da Vinci code? Can
it ascend to those same dizzying heights of awkwardly worded sentence
construction and cliché riddled narrative? We, and Dan Brown’s publishers, can
only hope.
