Well, actually I can imagine an unabriged audio version of LotR. I just finished listening to one and it was wonderful!!<P>I do understand that the entire story could not be shown on film (I can still dream, can't I ) and things need to be left out. However, I do not understand MAKING UP ridiculous scenes and adding them in place of what Tolkien actually wrote. Shame on Peter Jackson for thinking he could ever improve Tolkien's story!
