First of all, I've read these books in another language than english, so sorry for any names of places I have gotten wrong etc. I've noticed a few things which I found abit odd with the books; When Sam, Frodo and Gollum are on their way to Cirith Ungol, they see an army leaving Minas Morgul with a Nazgul, the Witch King, riding infront of them. But wasn't he at that point some sort of bird? And later on, in Gondor, he is again some sort of bird. Have I just read the text wrong? Or is it a mistake?

Another thing is, when Théoden and rohirrim leaves Dunhov (I'm not sure if that name is correct), the books tell about a song that would be sung through several generations. But there has been said many times that if Sauron wins the battle and gets the Ring, there will be no more songs. And that does kind of give away the fact that Sauron does not win.

This is probably not something people notice if they only read the books once or twice, but I thought I had to mention it.
