Thoughts on The Fellowship of the Ring

Honestly, I liked The Hobbit better. After all, Gandalf never says "Great elephants!" in the Fellowship, and who doesn't love a book where old wizards say "Great Elephants!"?

Anyway, that's not the point of this post. Like in The Hobbit, the ending...draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagged a little bit. And, Tolkien didn't quite have a grasp on using commas effectively.

Oh well.

However, Middle-earth is a grand creation: dramatic views, figures from antiquity mentioned only in songs and legends, the classic struggle between good and evil, and if you call in the next five minutes, we'll include a free SHAMWOW!

Maybe not.

But that would be cool. If ShamWow had been around, Tolkien would have bought it.

I know he would have.
