i totally agree! Furthemore, if you read The Silmarillon, it's amazing how deep he's gone in the background of middleearth... I mean there's appendices with languages (he created 8), and he explains (in fact his son writted it, after Tolkien's manuscripts) the relation, for exemple, between Rohan language and Numenorean (and Gondorian by extension...), and you see how the second one influenced the first one, with words in Rohan derivated from Numenorean.. It's just blowing! Everything get sense, every place finds its history! Tolkien is indeed one of the greatest author of our century!
Indeed. Creating languages out of thin air, and then writing poems in then takes skill. Alot of it. *bows*

I stop you, he didn't really created it ffrom nothing. You have to remember that Tolkien was, before an author, a linguist, teacher at the prestigious university of Oxford, and he studied more precisely medieval anglo-saxon... The Quenya, Sindarin andf others languages he created were adaptation from this language, and from finnish, swedish, etc...
-There are only 300-400 pages a book, not to long -There are only 5 books in the series, not to long' -They are very action-packed and help you with Greek mythology
my favoraite series is the skulduggery pleasant series there is going to be 9 in the series at the moment 3 are out. they come out every april. Also i love harry potter, lotr, twilight, and the inheritence series (eragon). these are all really great but skulduggery pleasant is my favoraite.
Same here that book is good... BTW, I thought that the book F My Life is a good read its funny the stupid and embarrassing things that can happen to ppl...XD
Rook is the best of them, though. It's cool how the author tells three stories in different time periods, but in the same world. Cool how it shows the changes of the Edge over time.
