I think that JRRT would probably have liked them, especially the close attention to detail as seen in Minas Tirith, Edoras, Helm's Deep etc., but he most likely would not have liked certain unneccessary plot changes (such as my personal gripe about putting the Smeagol/Gollum transformation in but leaving the Voice of Saruman out). However, I do not think that he would have complained TOO much.<P>BTW what is Letter 210? I don't know what any of JRRT's Letters say, so could you please post it for me?<p>[ 11:05 PM January 09, 2004: Message edited by: Meneltarmacil ]
