In Reply to: "She got bored with it..." - Tokien's LoTR novels may take a lot more work than some folks are willing to commit. posted by Audiophilander on January 29, 2004 at 08:47:22:
You made a strong statement that - obviously inspite of many opposite opinions - the book is not children book.So far I see no justification for that. It is commonly called children's book and I think for a good reason.
I think those who happen to like it, took serious offense in others calling it children's book, as they must feel that diminishes their idol's standing... well, that's THEIR problem.
Actually, that person was even harsher in her statement, but I shall spare you that part.

- 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)
