The Folly of the Wise  by Tathar 1 Review(s)
JULES6Reviewed Chapter: 8 on 1/22/2004
I really must commend you - I am only adding this to chapter 6 - but I promise I will make the time to go back and review each chapter individually.

This characteristation of Boromir is nothing short of brilliant - everything you could imagine going through his head at various stages of the journey and all true to his sense of honour, nobility and compassion.

I think he learned a lot along the journey and saw each member of the Fellowship for what they were worth - some of that realisation had to be seen in certain situations but see it he did.

I have yet to get to Boromir's passages in my story, but I would never do him justice the way you have. But certainly your version of Boromir will be my source of inspiration and insightfulness.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent and I will certainly be looking for further updates. Keep up the great writing.

Author Reply: Wow, thank you so much, Jules! Boromir has been a challenge to characterize (especially since when I started writing this fic, I really wasn't very fond of him) but I've had a lot of fun doing it, and I grow to admire him more and more. I'm glad to know that you're enjoying it so far! Chapter 9 is finished and in the editing process, you hopefully it will be up soon, as well. :)

Thanks again!
