The story was alright, and I was impressed that Packer actually got hurt, and stayed hurt for at least a little while. So often in books, if a character even gets hurt at all, the injury is conveniently forgotten. I didn’t really mind the “don’t resist evil” theology.

The modern kids slip into their medieval surroundings much better than a few have in recent fantasy novels, and the allegories are awesome. There is one rather wasteful chapter, though; be warned!

I agree, the movie was worse for cutting out poor T.B. ... and Frodo, in the book, is an old man! That is one area where I think Peter Jackson changed and went unscathed in my mind.

I have recently found and purchased a copy for my son (100 years old). He loved the book as well. I read this when I was 12, over 33 years ago and still remember the story vividly.

Sure it has some faults, but overall it's a super gadget for avid readers in the footprint of a small paperback. My favorite features - aside from just plain reading - are the free book samples and the 24/7 Amazon Kindle Bookstore available via the free Internet connection. Nothing like accessing the net on Amazon's dime! Jan The Kindle Reader http://kindlereader.blogspot.com/ I love my Kindle.
