   I enjoyed he first chapters of BotR but then tired of it. Among other   
   things, I thught there was a meanness to the book that decreased the fun. On   
   the other hand, O. Sharp has a lot of thoroughly enjoyable material at his   
   Tolkien Sarcasm Page.

   I think you should crosspost that material to alt.fan.tolkien and   
   rec.arts.books.tolkien.
