What scene made the biggest impression on you FROM THE BOOK?

[Midgardsormen]

I so agree with you Kalimac!!
I love the parts with Sam, Gollum and Frodo, all the little things, what they are thinking etc.
However, there are two places that I either cried or was heartbroken. The first one was when Sam thinks Frodo is dead....and he contemplates going on a revenge spree, then he thinks of killing himself (that almost broke my heart!!), then he cries....and finally he does what he feels is what Frodo would want him to do....it is not what he wants to do...remember he says if he manages to do the job then he will come back and never leave Frodo again....whether he kills himself deliberately or just gets himself killed is unclear, but it IS clear that he has no plans of returning to the Shire without Frodo. It is SOOO beautifully written!! I can feel his anguish at Frodo being dead, and at leaving him!! He really does not want to live any longer, but he does feel a responsibility for the ring not falling into Sauron's hands if he can help it.
The other scene is the Havens!! I cry buckets every time!! If these scenes are done well in the RotK I will be a total wreck afterwards!! (and will have used up a box of tissues too [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] )
Given that PJ has said he is intensifying the Gollum, Sam, Frodo relationship and expanding Faramir's role, I think TTT will be a great movie....but it is RotK that will blow us away if it is done well.
