I enjoyed the episode of "I Don't Even Own a Television" in which they reviewed this same book a great deal. I highly recommend it (and the podcast in general.)

Yes, they did a wonderful job dissecting the multiple levels of horribleness in this book.

Holy cow. That was impressive.

Every time I read about this book, it gets worse and worse.

Good lord.

I am almost as appalled by their dumbing down the complexity of the language as I am by the unremitting barrage of rapey-ness, as described in that link.

Because for fucking fuck's sake, I read Tolkien as a sixth-grader, thank you very much. I'm insulted on behalf of Teen Me of the Past that someone might have thought it was a bad idea that I might be reading above my age range. >:|
