I bought and read Barry Trotter, hoping to find a parody as funny 
as "Bored of the Rings", but I was quite disappointed.  The parody 
quickly degenerated into sexual antics among the Trio.  It was no 
clever or funny at all except for a tiny bit at the beginning.  The 
story is about a real Barry Trotter who wants to sabortage the 
making of a Barry trotter movie so that he could live in peace and 
quiet.  The book quickly forgets its premise, with dismal results.
