LOL! Thanks for telling me that, cuz I had no idea there was a difference. I think I'd probably like the EE version better. |

I am liking ROTK so far. As usual I can't wait to see Aragorn. I'm not that far into it, but can't wait to keep reading. |

I'm doing great. Taking long cuz I'm reading romances at the same time. I'm more than halfway done. I don't think I'm gonna read the appendices at the end--they look a little too crazy for me. What I'm doing right now, is asking everyone I know if they have LOTR on DVD for me to borrow. A neighbor has the first, but it's not the Extended Edition. Getting through the battle stuff was a little tough for me. And, I gasped when I thought Eowyn was dead. I'm about to start the next Part going back to Frodo & Sam. |

I only read the parts that interested me in the appendices. I wanted more of Aragorn's history and his relationship to Elrond and Arwen. Of course, I tried to find more info on Eowyn and Faramir - but that was fairly scarce. I read a few things on Legolas and Gimli.... |

Well, last week I finally accomplished my goal and finished reading the series. Overall opinions: I liked the story a lot. I wish there were more female characters though. It amazes me that Tolkien's imagination and fantasy rendering was so vivid and descript. I am in awe of that. Of course, Aragorn was my favorite character, then maybe Eowyn. I liked Gandalf too. I read some of the appendix--about Aragorn and Arwen. I swear, the map of Middle Earth is forever inscribed onto my brain ;-) I kept looking at it over and over again during my reading. This is one of those tales that I would love to pass onto my child. I hope my future child is a LOTR fan

It's been denied, but I can't help see the parallels of the story to WWII. It just brings so many layers to the book. Glad you enjoyed the story GWTW. |
