**RotK - General impressions and opinions**

[Lalaith]

This one is the best of the three. The battle scenes were incredibly moving, when "Rohan had come at last", I wept like a baby, and continued to do so all the way through the battle - ironically, up until the Eowyn/Witch King fight which, while my favourite part of the book, was not done well, I thought. She was scared and she wasn't a particularly skilled swordswoman. And Theoden's death wasn't touching enough either, I don't know why.<BR>Another small quibble was the Shelob scene, yes she was impressive but it just went on too long.<BR>But overall I thought it was great. <BR>Oh, and a very nice cameo by the Elven smiths reforging Anduril.
