Edition DescriptionAnniversary,Revised edition
SynopsisA quest, a war, a ring that would be grounds for calling any wedding off, a king without a kingdom, and furry little 'hero' named Frito, ready - or maybe just forced by the wizard Goodgulf - to undertake the one mission that can save Lower Middle Earth from enslavement by the evil Sorhed. . . Luscious Elf-maidens, a roller-skating dragon, ugly plants that can soul kiss the unwary to death - these are just some of the ingredients in the wildest, wackiest, most irreverent excursion into fantasy realms that anyone has ever dared to undertake.

I read the book MANY years ago...
I bought this for my son who is going out to sea for a while. It is a funny read. I am still quoting some lines from it for 40 years now. Anyone who has read Lord of The Rings, NEEDS THIS BOOK!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Literally, a Laugh every sentence from cover to cover!!
Written by two of Harvard (and Later National) Lampoon writers, this book should be a classic of American literature. It takes the trilogy of the Rings by Tolkein, and sets it afire with Humor. It is definitely a much easier read with much of the same imagery only slightly twisted. I much enjoyed "Bored of The Rings" over the trilogy it attempts to parody.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

An epic masterpiece parody of an epic masterpiece.
If you have ever read J.R.R. Tolkiens "The Lord of the Rings" and enjoyed it and are looking for something a little lighter and funnier than I highly recommend this book. Not only does it skewer The Lord of the Rings perfectly it is also a commentary on the Nixon administration. There were times while reading this book that I was in near hysterics and couldn't catch my breath. I love what the Harvard Lampoon has done with this story. On a scale of 1-10 I give this book a 10!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

a perfect title for this parody
I read this book when it was first published. I thought the parody was hysterical then, and it still is. If you are a lover of the Trilogy, you will love this book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
