Review - Expecting Someone Taller

Wagner's music isn't as bad as it sounds. I can't stand it, though, and know nothing about German mythology. But this book still entertained me. It's about a guy who runs over a badger, only to discover that he's just killed the Ringbearer. That makes him the new Ringbearer, and, incidently, the ruler of the world.
