*lol* You can still agree but not on everything! alanna aes sedai Send a noteboard - 05/12/2010 11:36:55 PM
Don't hate me because I dislike the hobbit! (didn't say I HATED it. just didn't think it was all that and a wheel of cheese too!)

It was pendantic, plodding and just plain uninteresting to me. Least Lord of the Rings was exciting WORLD Changing stuff that defined a new genre. The Hobbit was just.... meh in comparison to that.

Least for me. :D

Yup, Sanderson has no subtly, or at least assumes that his readers have an IQ of 6. Lord Haart - 06/12/2010 01:04:44 AM 1138 Views
