I have the childish problem of wanting things to last forever. So at the end of every book I read I feel sort of cut off. Not matter what the ending is like It feels like I've lost somthing. This feeling I felt even more at the end of LotR. I had built up the fantacy that what was left of the fellowship should stay together forever. I think it teached me that things DON'T last forever. I didn't like the last sentence either. I know this is kind of picky but after Sam says "Well I'm back" I wish Tolkien had put "And he lived happily ever after to the end of his days." The appendix was good though and it calmed my feelings. Because I knew that Sam was able to eventually join his master. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
