The Multi-Faceted Mr. Frodo  by Gentle Hobbit 5 Review(s)
GamgeeFestReviewed Chapter: 8 on 7/1/2005
I love these, especially the last one where everyone is arguing over who Frodo belongs to. That is so precious. I love the idea that he belongs to all of Middle Earth.

Author Reply: I am especially fond of that last one too. Thank you!

To all and none he belonged, for he was Illuvatar's child in the end.

Author Reply: And not something they could understand.

I absolutely *adore* these two lines:

"O what is a library to a hobbit?

"An odd and dangerous place where Shirefolk seldom go."

Especially the second one...it just speaks to me, somehow. More poetry than prose, it feels, and that is somehow fitting, of Frodo at least, though I can't quite explain how.

Great job!

Author Reply: Thank you! I enjoyed writing this one. I wanted to achieve a cadence in it, almost like a chant, or rhythmic echoes of a call and answer. I'm glad you liked it.

Wow! The last one was great!
Of course, everyone in Middle Earth considers his home the best place ever.
But Cirdan knows of Tol Eressea and the joy of living there!
I believe that Frodo found a new home there for the rest of his life.

These are all enchanting. There is such richness and pure emotion in your writing, and you do it all in so few words. Can't really decide which one I like best, but I was hooked from the very first.
