This is insulting! Why would they criticize LOTR?

Victor Pontbriand P*A*R*O*D*Y.....................Sheeesh.

Anyone know the word count for this book? I tried Google and didn't get very far :/ Thanks :)

Douglas Milewski A normal calculation is 33 lines x 10 words per line. 330 words per page. For 147 pages, that comes to about 45-50,000 words.

Anyone else wish Ralph Bakshi had made a movie of this book, instead of attempting a serious LOTR movie? Re-reading "Bored of the Rings" after becoming a fan of Ralph Bakshi's low-brow cartoons, I feel like this book and its humor were made for Bakshi.
