Book Review of Bored of the Rings: A Parody of J.R.R. Tolkien's the Lord of the Rings

reviewed on + 23 more book reviews


A delightful parody from the Harvard Lampoon! One must be familiar with Tolkien's trilogy to fully appreciate the humor. My rating is one short of perfect due to emphasis on then-current pop culture and consumer products (it's been more than 40 years!).
