Either way, she’s very odd.Ĭhapter Eight: Farewell To Lorien – Good guests know when to leave.
Also, wolves!Ĭhapter Five: The Bridge Of Khazad Dum – “Western Road doesn’t sound so stupid now, huh?” thinks Boromir.Ĭhapter Six: Lothlorien – We interrupt your quest to bring you this trippy detour through the hippy forest.Ĭhapter Seven: The Mirror Of Galadriel – Maybe she’s on something. Frodo and Pippin make him feel at home, while Sam slams his head of a table.Ĭhapter Eleven: A Knife In The Dark – Aragorn tries leading the group to safety, belatedly realising he’s doing the exact opposite.Ĭhapter Twelve: Flight To The Ford – Slouching towards Rivendell, then the banjo music starts.Ĭhapter One: Many Meetings – “Hope you didn’t have any problems getting here Frodo!”Ĭhapter Two: The Council Of Elrond – The Galactic Senate’s got nothing on these guys.Ĭhapter Three: The Ring Goes South – Elrond is unhelpful, Gandalf is grumpy, Sam is stupid and the mountains are angry.Ĭhapter Four: A Journey In The Dark – Actually, a lot of this chapter takes place in the light. The reader gets confused.Ĭhapter Nine: At The Sign Of The Prancing Pony – Having resolutely decided to be more careful from now, the group decide to get drunk with no regrettable consequences.Ĭhapter Ten: Strider – A scruffy, suspicious looking vagabond turns up the hobbits room. Luckily, the most rational character imaginable is there to save him.Ĭhapter Seven: In The House Of Tom Bombadil: I can’t quite put my finger on it, but there is something very strange about this couple…Ĭhapter Eight: Fog On The Barrow-Downs – The hobbits get sleepy.
Fatty Lumpkin was on the grassy knoll.Ĭhapter Six: The Old Forest – Frodo snaps under the pressure. Oh, and a talking fox turns up at one point.Ĭhapter Four: A Shortcut To Mushrooms – Where I start reading way too much into Frodo’s “troubled” childhood.Ĭhapter Five: A Conspiracy Unmasked – That’s right.
Note: While I like to have fun with the chapter descriptions here, I feel honor bound to say that this series isn’t comedic, for the most part.Ĭhapter One: A Long-Expected Party – Where we find out that the Ring can turn people both invisible and into an asshole.Ĭhapter Two: The Shadow Of The Past – Gandalf explains the plot to the rea…I mean Frodo.Ĭhapter Three: Three Is Company – The most epic journey in English literature begins. If you want to check out my series on The Hobbit, click here. Since the index page I threw up for my “Decisive Battles” pulls in a good bit of traffic, I figure I should do the same for my Chapter by Chapter reviews of The Lord of the Rings.
