'Vana~~I read that somewhere! Somewhere... Anyway, I personnally agree with Glorfindel being the same Glorfindel who died in battle with the Balrog, but Haldir I don't agree with. I think Haldir was named after the other Haldir. You know, like us humans name our children after famous people, maybe elves did the same thing. Maybe, I'm going to look into that.

Anyway, what I didn't like about the book was Galadriel. Yes, I didn't like Galadriel. She scared me... a lot. I didn't like her because she could almost read minds and she could communicate mind-to-mind. I didn't like that at all, I felt really bad for the Fellowship.
Also on the subject of Galadriel, I didn't like the fact that Legolas and Aragorn could withstand her mind-torment longer than the others. Yes, they're used to it(Aragorn having been to Lorien before and Legolas being an elf), but it bothered me. I don't know why. I've read and reread that scene and all the others with Galadriel and I still don't really understand why I don't like Galadriel. Maybe it's her attitude... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
