Adam Roberts

A. R. R. R. Roberts

Product Description

Bingo Sac Grabbins is asked by the coughing wizard Gandef and some (oddly Welsh) dwarves to help them relieve the great dragon Smug of his gold. SF author and Tolkien scholar Adam Roberts has written a parody that is both hilarious and intelligent. With knowing digs at the fantasy genre in general and the mystique that has built around middle earth in particular this will make Tolkien's 21st century readers laugh in a way that BORED OF THE RINGS made his fans of 1969 laugh.

About the Author

Adam Roberts is 36 and a Senior Reader in English at London University. His first novel, Salt, was nominated for the Arthur C. Clarke Award. He has also published a number of academic works on both 19th century poetry and SF.

Inside This Book (Learn More)

First Sentence
In a hole, in a highly desirable and sought-after portion of the ground (the hole two doors along went for three hundred thou last month, near enough, although admittedly it was double-fronted and had a newly turfed roof) lived a soddit, the hero of our story. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the Hobbit, 13 Sep 2009

Sahmraw "technical geek" (London, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Soddit (Gollancz S.F.) (Paperback)

Wow!! this book is soooo funny!!! I enjoyed it and could not put it down for laughing!!

If you enjoy the original or just want to read a spoof this is for you. Did you know that Wizards come from Dwarves?

If you come from Essex you may love the references to Lakeside etc. A really great read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could have been funnier
Swapping names like "Bilbo Baggins" for "Bingo 'Sac' Grabbings", you'd expect A.R.R.R. Roberts' 'The Soddit' to be an enjoyable romp and an entertaining parody of Tolkien's... Read more

Laugh, I nearly wet myself and if like me you've also read J.R.Tolken's The Hobbit you'll also be rivited to its pages.

3.0 out of 5 stars A disappointment.
THE STORY:
A humble, and fairly stupid, soddit is whisked off on an adventure by a group of Welsh dwarfs, boyo, and Gandef the hard of hearing wizard. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars It's about Gold!!!
Really, it's about gold, nothing else but gold, why else do you think 12 Welsh dwarfs and an aging, mostly deaf wizard would head off to a dragon's lair? Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Would be zero stars if I could do it.
What can I say, I don't want to sound like a pompous Tolkien fan, but this book is just aweful.

It did give me the occasional chuckle i must admit, but at the end of the book I... Read more
