Unsurprisingly, The Guardian's Mark Lawson is not happy with Dan Brown's latest.
The Lost Symbol makes 'Jeffrey Archer read like Dostoevsky in comparison'.
But what of Mark's own literary efforts?
A customer review of Going Out Live on Amazon says: 'The novel's satirical intent is undermined by his decision to give his characters the same sort of names as they would get in Carry On Broadcasting. A Northern sports reporter is called Barry Accrington, a pop star Marty Stark - unbelievably feeble. The trompe l'oeil ending is a complete cop out.'
Confucius say: What goes around, comes around.
