| Frodo Baggins | Reviewed Chapter: Prologue on 5/7/2006 |
| Oh this was wonderful! I can't wait to see what Frodo's reaction will be. The characters are very well done and very book cannon. I love to think of how poor Frodo would take the news of his cousins'....hm, how do we say, misadventures? I bet he would feel horrid for even allowing them to come along. Goodness, though, you sound like me! Ideas springing to life in the most absurd of places! A doctor's office waiting room. Yes, and the car, moving truck, sibling attacks...the works. Hannon le for a wonderful story. God Bless! YOurs Truly, Frodo Baggins Author Reply: Goodness gracious! I never saw this review, I think, until now--for there is no "reply" here, and I don't remember reading it before. So very belated thanks for stopping by and leaving a note. | |

| This is lots of fun so far. I am enjoying the teasing and the banter between the hobbits. A light moment after such dark times. I do hope that there is more posted soon. You currently have me hooked on two of your stories. Author Reply: oo, hooked on two of my stories, music to my ears. I wish I had some free time for reading, but it'll have to wait for summer days by the local pool while the little ones are putting in practice for swim team. Still, have ordered extra ink to print out all those lovely stories, including yours! | |

| Merry and Pippin's growth spurt must have been one of the most amazing - because visible - things. And to find that they had both been exposed to battle - despite his decision to leave - must have been hard for Frodo. Although he should take comfort from the fact that he and Sam, as well as Merry and Pippin, achieved remarkable things. Author Reply: I think he probably will take comfort, once he gets over the shock. | |

| Oh Lin! This is *perfect*! I've always wanted to explore Frodo's finding out what his cousins had been up to for the first time after they had been separated! But it's so much more satisfying to be able to read someone else's account of it. This is just delightful, and I love the four-way interaction between the hobbits. And now you know what such things as "waiting rooms" are really for. I've done a lot of writing in waiting rooms, sitting in line at the drive-through at the bank, waiting for my turn at a getting my hair trimmed, or waiting in the car for someone else. It really does give you a bit of time that would otherwise be wasted on 10 year old copies of "People" magazine, LOL! Author Reply: LOL, and now I'd like to read your take on the scene... what fun! But I'm in agreement. I'm always looking for others' take on Beregond and Bergil, for example. But our break is over and I must go! | |

| Very much thinking good thoughts for you and yours Lindelea. This is great and I am looking forward to more. I can wait but, just like Pippin, imagine what trouble I can get up to if I have to wait too long! Author Reply: O I hope you didn't get up to too much trouble in the wait! More to come, but no time to type it in today. | |

| Trying to understand what the rest had been through must have been overwhelming to Frodo and Sam, having been separated for so long from the rest. Author Reply: Yes, and in the book they didn't know about the Orcs attacking at Parth Galen. They didn't know Boromir had been killed (somehow) until they met up with Faramir. | |

| Oh what a fun beginning!!! Bless you, Lin, for trying to find the time to write :) "At first Frodo put up a hand, refusing regretfully, but Gandalf pressed him, saying that he should take a little wine for the sake of his stomach, and that it would nicely settle the food from the feast." Sounds like Paul's advice to Timothy! LOL Author Reply: You're the sharp one, you are! That's exactly where I first read that little piece of advice... | |

| As I have contended before, you are amazing. "Sprang to life in a doctor's waiting room'. Definitely thinking good thoughts for more. And wishing you all of the best in whatever life hands you. Hearing those tales told by the two who lived them should be good. Author Reply: Have only now found a few extra minutes to type more in, and there is yet more staring at me from a sheaf of scratch paper, but it'll have to wait for another day. Thanks for the encouraging comments! | |

| This is a delightful gap-filler! And I do love the "lightness" of hobbity talk. What a treat for Frodo and Sam, after so long without other hobbits for company. Author Reply: Ah, yes, light talk about heavy matters, so very hobbity! (I need to learn that trick IRL, I think.) | |
