While on books, lemme just take this opportunity to doff mah hat to Senor Tolkien (yes, I am talking about the Lord of The Rings) - that is one helluva book he's written...
Correction, thats one hell of an entire world he's thought up ! I mean, the level of detail that's there in every aspect of the story almost makes you believe in the existence of Elves and Orcs and Hobbits and......I could go on and on...
I started the book a while ago, and I still haven't reached halfway - the book literally overwhelms you as you go along, and you end up losing yourself in an intricately woven web of incidents, situations and characters, written with a clarity that I do sincerely believe is unmatched in its genre.
And while on LoTR, let me also congratulate the movie-crew of the series - they've done a fantastic job trying to capture the essence of the novel in a limited span of a few minutes and still manage to induce a feeling of awe and thrill in their hearts.......I saw the movies before I read the novel, and I must say its definitely a better experience than with the Harry Potter series (of which I am an ardent fan nevertheless)...
