Summary:
Sometimes childish, sometimes rude, always clever and always very,
very funny this book has delighted most, and outraged a few, Tolkien
fans in the US for nearly 30 years. Pulling in references to popular
culture and fantasy literature as a whole this is a killingly
effective parody of Lord of the Rings. From the dreary Goddamn
(Gollum), to the feckless Arrowroot (Aragorn), the bungling Goodgulf
(Gandalf) to the timid, meanminded boggies Frito (Frodo) and Dildo
(Bilbo) no character is safe. Fleeing the Nozdrul, bored by
acid-casualty Tim Benzedrine and harrassed throughout by the minions
of Sorhed the fellowship move through a Middle Earth like no other.
Short, sharp and very much to the point even Tolkien would be
hard-pressed to surpress a giggle at Bored of the Rings.
