Shelob's Sting? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

In the book Tolkien gets around the shirt by having Shelob stab Frodo from behind in the back of the neck. So I'd say that this was a screw-up on P.J.s part. <P>The thing that was bothering me more was the sheer size of that spider's sting! Frodo should have been skewered like a shish-kabob by that thang. I mean, that was one big, stinger!
