false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180697708m/1066659.jpg 1066659 5 <div><b>In the grand tradition of the blockbusting parody <i>Bored of the Ring</i>, comes this uproarious literary spoof of Tolkien's other (much shorter) masterwork, <i>The Hobbit</i>. It has already sold 80,000 copies in hardcover--and is still going strong.</b><br><br>Tolkien was never this funny--and that's why we need this delicious parody. It follows the adventures of Bingo "Sac" Grabbings, a rather unremarkable Soddit of Upper Middle Earth. He ventures forth (despite very sore and swollen feet indeed!) alongside Gandef the Coughing Wizard and a band of psoriasis-scratching, who-knows-what's-in-the-pipe-puffing dwarves, as they set out to relieve the haughty dragon Smug of his ill-gotten gold. With the blockbuster box office success of the <i>Lord of the Rings</i> films, and the continued interest in the original books, the time is ripe for someone to poke a bit of good-natured fun at the phenomenon that is <i>The Hobbit</i>, and this hilarious satire succeeds brilliantly. Written by an acknowledged expert on all things Tolkien, it both salutes and skewers the classic novel, reinventing the tale of a courageous little being whose amazing persistence--and more than a bit of Soddit luck--belies his diminutive stature.<br></div> 1053308 2003 The Soddit: Or, Let's Cash in Again total:42|5:1|4:0|3:3|2:2|1:0| 42 129 64 9 1615369 0575075546 9780575075542 5 2 3.07 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1185915332m/1615369.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1615369.The_Soddit_Or_Cashing_in_Again 1 0 false Tue Nov 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Wed Mar 11 12:53:03 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 11 12:54:01 -0700 2009
The book is so terrible, I cannot believe someone can write such a gibberish. It looks like an author has never been told that his sense of humour is unacceptable. It reminds me of a hopeless guy who cannot master an art of telling a joke and make others laugh.
