ne body who read roverandom....
 

what did u think of roverandom??

It's been a while since I read it, but I think it's a cute little story. I wanted to write more, but all I can come up with, is 'a cute little story' [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] In the beginning I feel so sorry for Roverandom, but I'm glad he gets a home at last. (Oops, now I probably ruined it for a lot of Roverandom-readers out there... *Mele hides in her corner trying not to show her shame*) [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I also think it was a cute story, and very imaginetive. I thought the part on the Moon was pretty interesting, too. When I first read it, we were drying Lemon Thyme in the oven, so when ever I smell the thyme, I think of the book! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I think that it was a good book, after all, it was written by Tolkien! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] It had the depth that LOTR had, or so I thought. He could have written histories of the wizard people there, and of the moon place and the sea place. It could have been as big as ME.

The only thing that I didn't like about it was that it was, really, a childrens book. Sorry, but I am not a child nemore. But then, the hobbit was also a childrens book so I can't really complain.

Good book it was!

I considered buying it, but decided I didn't want to spend the money on a little children's book like that. Was this a bad decision?

Silver-Shod muse:

Run back out and buy it.

I LOVED it.

Key point: Tolkien's son Michael was 4 yrs old when he lost his little toy dog. Tolkien wrote Roverandom to cheer the lad up.

Is that something else by Tolkien? I've never heard of it, but if it's not a ME thing, let's leave it alone! What was the question title? I couldn't read it...lol...Jk, welcome to the barrow downs ye newly deceased newbie!

I just read Roverandom this last weekend. I was hoping to find Morgoth's Ring, but Roverandom was the only Tolkien book there which I didn't already own. For a childrens story I didn't think it was all that bad, but for 13 bucks it's not worth the money unless you're serious into collecting any and all things written by JRRT.
