BOTR is quite awful and wonderful at the same time. For those of you who won't remember the 60's and early 70's, look for Serutan (Saruman). That was a popular laxative back then! And of course Bromosel (Boromir), also a stomach remedy! And I love the way they turned Arrowroot, Son of Arrowshirt (and he has many names.... ;=)) into a complete blunderer! Eorache (Eowyn) was horribly amusing, and the descriptions of the Boggies (Hobbits) were downright nasty! But it was very amusing on a very basic level, thus accessible to most! Not for the easily offended, but great for those who have to completely lose their sense of seriousness for a short span!

Cheers,
Lyta
