[The 1,000 Reader]

To me Sauron was more of a cliche, average villian in The Silmarillion and after reading it I thought of him being far less intelligent and powerful than he was said to be(if you pay close attention, you'll realize that Sauron made many stupid mistakes.) The unfortunate deeds of Turin seemed far more sinister and tragic( a bad thing happened to them and they died.) Also, Turin killed people left and right when many of them were undeserving of it and some were trying to help him.

I also liked Gorbag and Shagrat, though I was slightly confused about why they killed each other. I know orcs are greedy, but if Sauron had horded so much mithril, wouldn't there be a inflation of sorts rendering it near worthless, thus making their greed be in vain? Of course if they wanted it for a promotion of sorts then that makes sense.
