It's not that difficult, although I'd seen something similar before. There aren't that many things that it could be, especially coming from the sort of people who post on this forum. A more interesting idea for a novel is the one that is palindromic (i.e.the entire book can be read either way)
Probably much harder to write, as well. The only interesting palindrome i know offhand is "Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas" for the sheer complexity of the words in it.
