What do you feel when you read the book?

[Rindoien, elf of Lothlorien]

I remember exactly. I just closed RoTK and sighed happily. Then I cried [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

It was just so lovely and I remember wailing to my mum at the part about Eowyn's death and 're-surrection' if that is the right word to use. The language is so complex, and the characters so beautifully described that you just feel as if you are being thrown into their world, Middle Earth, as if you are standing there in the corner, watching the characters.

But the main reason I cried at the end was the thought of all my favourite characters leaving Middle Earth... and travelling to the Undying Lands... that really hit me hard as I wanted the story to go on for ever and ever and it couldn't because they were gone. It kind of makes Fan Fiction useless but oh well.

Do any of you feel like this? I agree with Daisy Brambleburr

When I finished RotK I felt like someone had hit me with a plank of wood

EDIT: Wow I went into a lot of 'detail'. I suppose LoTR is a big passion in my life [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
