发帖数: 720 | 1 for lotr there is a good fanfic called "leaf storm" worth a read, a tale of
midearth told from elves' pov (and one elf in particular). (oops fanfic
generally stinks, but there's gem buried in soils..)
spoiler: storyline is occasionally girlish and teenagerish, saddish and
melodramaticish; on the whole it is rich and beautiful, combined with action
and reflection, suspense and classics, the lovely and the ancient; the
language is poetic, melodic and clear-cut, paced with humor and grace. (i am |

发帖数: 720 | 2 The book is about the history of elves and men, offers a foreknowledge and
background for LotR. Compared to dark and cruel battles thousands of years
earlier, the war of the ring is like a piece of cake. The grandeur in the 1st
and 2nd age forshadows the fading years in the 3rd age, and makes the latter a
bittersweet favor. I finally see why so many things in LotR, morning, dew,
trees, grass, sea, cloak, ship etc. are again & again called "grey", the color
of twilight. The tales in this book |

it is not universally liked. you cant be alone. perhaps most ppl who
disliked some thing kept their disapproval/disappointment in silence.
it was an eye-opener to me. i was fond of even orcs and feeling v. silly
about elves. lol. |

发帖数: 720 | 4 I was also hesitant upon the novels even after seeing the awesome movie of
TTT. lotr is rather dense, like a secret garden fenced with tall thick trees.
Once went through it, lots of fun inside. Tolkien was a very good visioner
and dreamer. It's not what was written but how it was written that charmed
readers. I tried other fantasis like Terry Brooks, Robert Jordan's which also
had dwarves and elves those races and wars and adventures, but they were
simply not good.

发帖数: 791 | 5 i did read the whole book and liked it. but didn't get obsorbed. my problem is
that the elves seem to be pure good and the orcs seem to be pure evil. of
course you can say there is frodo who represents inner struggle. poor him! and
this chapter about shelob is a bit too freakish. :)
all in all i like aragorn the best. (in the book, forget about the movie for a
second.) the man has to earn his heritage. and my favorate quote is "for dawn
is ever the hope of men." that's just really classic!

发帖数: 720 | 6 Tolkien was not a crafty author. Characterization was not his point. Many
back stories he didn't bother to crash into lotr but mentioned in appendices

these backward "history" got heavy on you and you'll find it possessed a
complexity of poetry & humanity. Elves were not pure good. They had loads of
struggles and reflection upon the world. And they could be evil, slayed their

Fast because we seldom change while the world around us changes quickly."

hmm, that makes a lot more sense! thanks again.
poor arwen mm. i'd rather cheer over aragon's wedding than mourn over arwen's
death. one can be both 'sad and gay'. there's no question about it.
the writers are like the dwarves who make the mithil armors, or the elves who
make the swords. and then the armors and the swords will be buried
underground, in a goblin infested mine, behind a spell-protected door.
and one day our good friend bilbo stumbled upon them and wrote LotR! :) |
