Adam Roberts, The Soddit

"The Soddit" bears uncanny similarities to an earlier work, and the more I read,the more I was convinced that the author had plagerised the famous childrens adventure story entitled "The Hobbit"! Even the titles are quite similar.

I passed my concerns on to the publishers of "The Hobbit" who in turn told me to look up "parody" in the dictionary. So It appears I have made a public disgrace of myself. That said, the story of the Soddit will please, and provoke the odd spasm of uncontrolled laughter, drooling and choking on sweets. So be careful to have an assistant available at all times to dislodge that murray mint.
