*sniff* A post after my heart! *sniff*<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> In my opinion Tolkien was weak in describing some of the actually details of battles and events. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>That is one of the reasons I am here, typing a reply to your post when I should be sleeping! His description of the battles were effective enough to get the point across, but not vivid enough to turn me off. But naturally, PJ couldn't just show our heroes facing off the enemies and fade to black with a voice-over saying who won and the number of casualties... That would be ridiculous!
