Elmofongo: I am almost finishing the Hobbit book and I like it alot and even watching the movie did not damn my opinion of either book or movie.

But the Lord of the Rings books are way different from the movies so I just wish to ask one question and question is did the LOTR books fleshes out and offers more back story than the films?

For one did the books explain more about Sauron? Because in the films he seems more one-dimentional like "oohh here is a bad guy, that we never know why he is a bad guy and why is he doing this, what drove him, etc."

Don't spoil anything just tell me at least the books have more backstory?

Jonesy89: Um. Assuming that people who parody only one entry in a series have no familiarity or love for the rest of that series is unwarranted as all hell. For example, I liked Fallouts 1 and 2, but that doesn't make the idea of this fanfic any less interesting to me.

EDIT: Just realized that I necro posted after I hit 'post'. Well, shit.
