Review of A. R. R. R. Roberts’ The Soddit

This is an obvious parody of J. R. R. Tolkein’s The Hobbit.  Bilbo Baggins has become Bingo Grabbings.  Gandelf is Gandef.  It goes on as such.  The characters have comedic elements added to them.  Bingo has arthritic feet, so he says ‘ow’ when he walks.  Gandef is going deaf and seems to only hear what he wants to.  Thorin or Thorri has a speech issue, a pronounced lisp.  There are several characters that are killed off making obvious and simply mistakes.  They are mourned for one paragraph and then gone from the mind. 

The characters are not long lasting like Bilbo, Thorin, and Gandelf in the Hobbit.  They are thoroughly entertaining for someone who just wants to read something that endorses a lot of fun to be had.
