This and many other details.

I wouldn't advise students to copy this summary as a book report. As did the London Sunday Times.

I suspect that this is intended as a nasty joke played on students too lazy to actually read the book.

The errors scattered through it are so incorrect as to indicate deliberate intention to mis-inform.

Mind you, any student who relies on this type of trash deserves what they get.

LOL

And as a matter of fact, this IS what they had to say...

"Of course, I feel compelled to point out that a much better understanding of Tolkien's work can be achieved by reading the actual books; it's well worth the effort. If you simply don't like to read, however, I'm sure the following synopsis and suggestions will help you make the grades you obviously deserve."
