Yes but the mass of tentacle goodness all just writhing around trying to stab one through all of one's bodily orifices (shame on you!) is very much similar to the mass of tentacles with a tip in every person's dream.
I have one last thought...Yes but the mass of tentacle goodness all just writhing around trying to stab one through all of one's bodily orifices (shame on you!) is very much similar to the mass of tentacles with a tip in every person's dream.
Im a bit late to this thread I guess but I have to concur with the thoughts on Tolkien being a bit boring. Sign of the times when he wrote them though and the reason he wrote them. Still enjoyable reads I just feel a lot better writers and novels have picked up his legacy and bettered it. A bit like modern PC's being much better than the early punch card cryptography devices. Bottom line all modern fantasy owes Tolkien a debt.
What to do while waiting for Dance of Dragons? Re-read the other four books. Heck, it's what I'm doing.
Hah, that's exactly my opinion on the subject.My only problem with Tolkien is that he can take 7 pages describing the color of grass in a field and 2 paragraphs describing a major battle. Yeah, pacing.
