Hi guys,
I'm from Denmark and I'm very much interested to hear your opinions about the book "The Lord of the Rings" by no-other than J. R. R. Tolkien.
(Might have to add that I'm 17 years old, therefore is my English not perfectly)..
Do you consider it being a fairly and well-written book?
Some of my friends, who have read it on Danish, say that it's a very boring book, because Tolkien puts too many details into it and it ruins the plot/history a bit. But what do you think of it?
I really want some of your opinion; for is it a good book, or is it too much - you know -boring?
And by the way, is it true that the language Tolkien use is very old English and not modern English? For I really want to read a great book that have a bit modern English in it and still are well-written!
- Could you perhaps give me a list of some great books that meet these requirements, please?
.. As a matter of fact, I've read the Harry Potter books, and I think they are quite good, however, they are also simply written, am I right??
Well, I'll like to hear your opinions of the books by J. R. R. Tolkien and a list of books you find well-written and still with modern language in it, please.
Yours Frederik
