<HTML>My main problem with TTT was that- oddly enough- it cut off too soon for both story threads. The book ends with the confrontation with Shelob the Great spider for Sa & Frodo, and for the rest of the gang it ends with them all- more or less- reunited under the walls of Saruman's tower, after the great showdown between Gandalf and S, and pippin buggering about with the palantir (so to speak) I liked that scene.
Also, never mind the elvish infiltrators into the story, where the hell are the trees? As I recall, the orcish army are quite discombolulated by the wild trees, the Huorns which cluster up around Helm's Deep for a while.
Furthermore, why is the new girlie in the story, Eowyn, or however you spell her name, such a long streak of piss? She's supposed to be tragically in love with Aragorn, and suicidal to boot, not just in the grip of a teenage crush!
I mean this is the woman who almost singlehandedly (that's apart from Merry) kills the leader of the Nazgul, who is the Witch King of Angmar!! (yes someone gave me a Tolkien dictonary for christmas) She's feeble!! She has no grit to her!!!! we're supposed to believe THIS is gong to kill a Nazgul?? Feh, I say!! Feh!!!
Okay, I'm a little over excited now. I shall sit me down and read a calming book.
Now if our Thursday was an actress...........</HTML>
