Negative Positive
Title: The word in brackets says it all.
Review: [ABRIDGED]?? You can't abridge Tolkien, any more than you can abridge Dickens. And who in their right mind would want an abridged edition anyway? It's not as if _The Hobbit_ was a very long book. Even with _The Lord of the Rings_, which is far longer, all the people I know that liked it say it's not long enough.
Is the review positive or negative?
