Journal btornado's Journal: Finished Lord of the Rings! 1
I finally finished reading Lord of the Rings yesterday. It was really great. I started it midway into December, so it only took me around 2 months to read. I really regret not reading it earlier, especially before the movies came out. Oh well, nothing I can do about that now.
Now that I've read it, I realized how messed up the movies are. The Two Towers is probably the one that is messed up more. I mean, For one, Faramir seems a lot nicer in the book than he does in the movie. In the book, Frodo doesn't even go to Osgiliath, whereas in the movie he goes there and then quickly leaves. There's a lot of stuff they left out of The Two Towers that they have to include in the next movie such as the road to Isengard and the voice of Saruman, Frodo going to Minas Morgul, and the bit with Shelob. Only then can we get into the stuff from Return of the King.
I'm deffinately looking forward to Return of the King, now that I've read the book.
Bleh, now that I've finished LOTR I have to start reading Vanity Fair and Emma for school
I'm reading Lord Of the Rings nowadays (Score:1)
I searched for it in journals and your post appeared hehe.
I'm still in the fellowship of the ring, almost the end of book one. It's really fun, I read the hobbit before and it was also cool (If you haven't read it then I advise you to
I haven't seen the movies, and I'm not gonna see them till I'm done with the reading (reading first is always better, you get more out of it).
Anyway just wanted to share my thoughs
Have a good time
