Note this from https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait" For book reviews or articles about new books, the book title often makes a better HN title, so we turned to that in this case.
