A Brandybuck Turns Baggins  by Iorhael 2 Review(s)
JULES6Reviewed Chapter: 12 on 4/14/2004
Hi Iorhael,

I loved the sadness and loss of Bilbo for Frodo. And Gandalf was great in this and his reassurance and comfort of a dear old friend.

I really liked how Finbar just picked up Frodo outside the house in concern that he was ill again. And I loved Frodo's complaint that he was alright.

I have said it before, but I will again - I really like the Finbar character - so much love and kindness for our dear hobbit Frodo - who seems to need it in abundance from us all. LOL

Still, Frodo could not help feeling sorry for himself, and for the another countless time in his life, rejected again.

Yes, and Frodo often seems to feel sorry for himself - he almost needs a Sam in this chapter.

Keep up the good work - onto the next chapter.

JULES


Author Reply: I hope Frodo wouldn't feel sorry for himself too long. I'm trying to portray him getting more mature in the next chapter, especially with all the experience he got.

I'm always amazed at your comments. Really!

Oh dear - I'm starting to feel sorry for Frodo. Now *that* is quite an achievment for you to manage that! Glad to see that Gandalf has entered the mix - he's always been one of my favourite characters. And if Finbar is taking Frodo West across the Shire they're bound to meet someone who'll let Frodo know about Merry's little bit of mischief! Good chapter, please continue soon!

Author Reply: Ah, thanks a lot for your kind words! Yes, Frodo will find out about Merry's misbehaved act soon. Wonder how he might react.
