Title: Where are the women?
Review: I read the book (only) twice at the age of 11 and 14, and thought it was the best book ever. But as I don't any longer think of "Bluesbrothers" as the best movie ever I must admit that even in the LoR there are simply too many things missing: 1) Where are the women? I have a little daughter (4month) and I will not give her the book, because all the heroes are male (see deserves more than beeing a princess) 2) Where is the loss of important people? Dead of people we love is an important part of our lifes. In the LoR all heroes survife: its a fairy tale nothing more. (As Tolkine says, too. 3) Where are the problems between the main charaters? Look at Star Trek TNG: The first episodes are terrible boring, because "we all love eachother" - Star Trek DS9, which had no such restrictions, is much better - right from the beginning.So it is truely a very good book, but only with respect to a very limmited part of human life.
Is the review positive or negative?
