We’ve Renamed 28 Famous Books With Synonyms, And Your Job Is To Guess The Original Titles

28

No matter how many times someone tells you not to judge a book by its cover, you’re still going to do it. Whether consciously or not, a boring cover accompanied by a lousy title is something readers dismiss all the time. That’s why a book’s title is so important. It grabs the attention, establishes the tone, and communicates the genre to potential readers. So would you still recognize a book if we changed the title?

In this quiz, you’ll see 28 titles that we made up by synonymizing the names of famous books. If you feel stuck, try looking for clues in the background!

    OK, so I have a slight problem with 9. "Invisible" is not a synonym of "hidden" - if something is invisible then there is no need to hide it, because by definition it cannot be seen. "Transparent" might have been better. But I have a REAL problem with 19. Not only is a hitchhiker not in any way a commuter - the latter suggests a daily journey to work and back, not the hit-em-and-hope haphazard nature of riding one's thumb - but there are literally billions of star systems in a galaxy, the two are not equivalent at all.
