I've not seen it yet

podrock — 12/23/2007 5:24:47 AM (archived)

Hope to, though. Read the trilogy after it was recommended here, of all places. Gave my copies to a friend, don't know where they've travelled since then.

Enjoyed the books very much. You are right, Fox, it is a nice creation of a universe in the Tolkien tradition of the Fairy Story. Bit more allegorical than Tolken, and of a 90 degree turn to Lewis. Wonder how this would have been recieved if read to the Inklings.

If the series succeeds enough to get to the third book....well, I think there might just be a bit of a fuss.
