I'm not criticizing the opinion of a person whose knowledge and depth you respect (i.e., after never finishing the first book), but we're discussing subjective view points, are we not? If testimonials were that important, I'd simply toss out the name of someone like Steve Hoffman, an intelligent, highly regarded audio engineer who's opinions are respected by many on these boards as well as his own! He not only claims to have read Tolkien's Ring trilogy, but rereads them annually! My point being that one intelligent person's viewpoint is just as good as another's; it's just different strokes, and critics don't always agree.AuPh

- Object away, the LoTR films & books are neither naive, poorly made, nor, strictly speaking, a children's opus. - Audiophilander 17:14:15 01/29/04 (0)
