Lit ► Lord of the Rings trilogy

[Diomedes]

Best. Series. Ever. Agree or GTFO!

 

[Advent Dusk]

:glare:

What a pointless poll. It is awesome, but you should at least give people a chance to disagree.

 

[Siren]

The books sucked. Try again.

 

[Diomedes]

If the books sucked, there wouldn't have been any movies.

 

[Pelafina]

The Silmarillion was better.

 

[Siren]

I agree. :v

 

[Fireheart]

If the books sucked, there wouldn't have been any movies.

That logic is.. idiotic to say the least.

 

[Space Cowboy]

If the books sucked, there wouldn't have been any movies.

Thats some good logic you got there...

so how does it explain Eragon?

But the LotR is well...how should I put it...meharrghhhage at best.

The book Eragon didn't suck, the movie did. The book your thinking of is Eldest.

 

[violent_anger]

i think i had to read it once. was it supposed to be interesting, or did the author want me to fall asleep?


Song of Ice and Fire is better in every way imaginable.

 

[Informal Gluttony]

Never read the Silmarillion, but I must say that The Hobbit was better than the LotR books.

But, it's been so long that I've read them, I can't even remember. Plus, I don't think that I really understood the LotR books while I read them.

I understood The Hobbit fine, though. And I've been procrastinating reading The Silmarillion.

 

[Twilight_Path]

J.R.R.Tolkien is the best. The end.

 

[Superschlock]

J.R.R.Tolkien is the best. The end.

I like Eoin Colfer better

 

[Twilight_Path]

I like Eoin Colfer better

Meh, he's alright, but Tolkien's got epic storyline and a bit more of an imagination.

Oliphaunts. Hell yeah.

 

[Superschlock]

Well, im trying to read the Hobbit, and its okay, but id much rather be reading Artemis Fowl

 

[Trag]

The Hobbit is much more interesting to read, because Tolkien uses WALLS of text. That doesn't justify some of you saying it sucks. It's an extremely intricate and well thought out book.

 

[GATTAI]

Tolkien's writing isn't something anyone would like. It's somewhat of an acquired taste, much like many foods or hobbies. I personally can't read his books due to his lengthy descriptions. He is creative to say the least, but his writing doesn't float my boat.

 

[Essence of Elegy]

Although he can be discursive sometimes, Tolkien's got an awesome storyline and world; one that I haven't seen anyone match.

 

[Pelafina]

At any rate, Tokien's devotion to his worlds was pretty intimidating.

He has an absolutely mind blowing amount of languages, histories, and geographies that all make sense in relation to one another.

 

[Superschlock]

The Hobbit is a pretty good book, pretty funny
