OK I will admit I'm a major geek and my wife knew that she would be dragged to the movies. In cases like this my wife will read the novels to know what is going on. She worked her way through them and came up to me and said -

"I can sum up this epic series in four sentences:"

They came. They sang. He tripped. They won.


"Are you telling me this epic clash between good and evil was won because the bad guy tripped."

I was at first horrified that she would dismiss one of the greatest works I had read but the more I though about it the more I needed a drink.
