Rate The Return of the King (The Lord of the Rings, Part 3) by J.R.R. Tolkien [reviewed by Kynaratholis]

Original at LibraryThing reviews of books owned by Aquila external link    Mon, Dec 3

Kynaratholis's review: "A Tolkien original work. Long winded and over detailed in an ever-surprisingly good way. The story and narration is pretty good, but the end is kind of jumbled, though much better than the movie's."

Rate Opinion: EQ2 vs. LotRO

Original at Tobold's MMORPG external link    Mon, Aug 13

LotRO's ultimate strength is it's Tolkien license. LotRO does an excell...
