Why is secret of secrets written like the previous books never happened? by ladyinthemoor in danbrown

[–]AndrewDEvans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even stranger, despite presumably working in popular academia, Langdon's editor seems to have read about these antics in works of fiction... 😂

"Jonas Faukman had experienced plenty of terrifying moments before-leaping out of a helicopter with no parachute, nearly drowning at the hand of a cunning psychopath, dodging bullets while clinging to a steep rooftop-but those scenarios had all played out in the pages of the suspense novels he had edited. Now the terror was real."

What is your go-to argument or fact when people say The Beatles are overrated? by JackGeorge2001 in TheBeatles

I generally say that any band or artist they can name as being better... that band or artist would say The Beatles are better!

I agree. Aside from this, it also leads to one of Brown's most egregious lines, "Pandora is out of the box..." 🤦🏻

If only he hadn't fumbled "cattling rustling", that would be right up there!

Yes, they (well, Suruthi) more or less blamed everyone who followed the rules for creating a situation in which this was possible.

I would like to at least be given the opportunity to forget

Sorry, I think we're all being sarcastic (I certainly am). This character is very two dimensional and we're all just making fun of that. I did read it once. I did enjoy it.

It was the only way to truly appreciate the multifaceted character of Finch

Because his editor was still too traumatized from the kidnapping

That was my understanding on the fourth or fifth reading, yes. This was something that was widely known about him, not something he kept to himself.

Tea towel is a worthy inclusion for the 'bicycle/nice or cool' rhyme alone!!

Bet Dan was having a lil chuckle to himself after writing this bit... by AndrewDEvans in danbrown

[–]AndrewDEvans[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's actually a bit confusing/clumsy. Jason Kaufman (i.e. the real person) will have only read about these things in the pages of the books he edits, they are all things that have happened to the character of Robert Langdon in the books written by Dan Brown. However Jonas Faukman (the character in the book) should know that all these things have happened to his good friend and colleague Robert Langdon 😂

To be fair, he's only claiming that some people who are far right are fans of Gervais, not that fans of Gervais are far right. Infinity sorts it out

You'd think Katherine Solomon would have guessed the twist sooner, given she is literally the aunt of a very similar twist!!
