THE SELLAMILLION is NOT a parody of Tolkien's THE SILMARILLION. That would be pointless because although all Tolkien fans have a copy, only three of them have read past page 40. It is, however, a parody of all that Tolkien created as he worked on LORD OF THE RINGS. The history of the elderly days. Early missing drafts of LORD OF THE RINGS. A correspondence between the author and publisher on whether it should be a Bellybutton Stud of Doom rather than a Ring of Power. An experimental version of LOTR as if written by Dr Seuss. That sort of thing. It'll be funny. Possibly hilarious. The author's told us it will be. Promised even. And he did write THE SODDIT. And that was quite funny.

Anyway, as Bored Of The Rings and The Soddit were very entertaining and witty parodies of the original books, I do have to say that The Sellamillion also managed to put a smile on my face, on several occasions.
The dry humour, the witty dialogues, the word plays, ... it's sheer fun! On top of that, you don't have to have read Tolkien's works to appreciate and like these parodies.
Of course, the parodies are much more compact, not only in size, but also in number of pages and the story/ies being told.
In short, recommended material if you're in need of a laugh or just want some fast entertainment.
One point of critique: I'm not that fond of the songs or poems that were added at the end, in the appendices. But the stories are very nice. ( )
