Táto séria humornou paródiou klasických fantasy prvkov, zasadená do sveta plného absurdných dobrodružstiev a svojských postáv. Sledujte neochotného hrdinu, ktorý sa s nesúrodou skupinou spoločníkov vydáva na zdanlivo jednoduchú, ale chaotickú výpravu za pokladom. Každý krok je plný nečakaných zvratov, bizarných stretnutí s tvormi a magickými artefaktmi, ktoré prinášajú viac problémov ako úžitku. Pripravte sa na smiech a prekvapenia v tomto satirickom pohľade na žáner.
Following "Bored of the Rings" comes the equally irreverent parody of Tolkien's other masterwork, "The Hobbit". Bingo Sac Grabbins is asked by the coughing wizard Gandef and some oddly Welsh dwarves to help them relieve the great dragon Smug of his gold.
THE SELLAMILLION is NOT a parody of Tolkien's THE SILMARILLION. That would be pointless because although all Tolkien fans have a copy, only three of them have read past page 40. It is, however, a parody of all that Tolkien created as he worked on LORD OF THE RINGS. The history of the elderly days. Early missing drafts of LORD OF THE RINGS. A correspondence between the author and publisher on whether it should be a Bellybutton Stud of Doom rather than a Ring of Power. An experimental version of LOTR as if written by Dr Seuss. That sort of thing. It'll be funny. Possibly hilarious. The author's told us it will be. Promised even. And he did write THE SODDIT. And that was quite funny.
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.
