The Trial of Frodo Baggins  by Gentle Hobbit 2 Review(s)
ElentariReviewed Chapter: 7 on 9/20/2003
Wow... at the encouragement of Nivina1421, i decided to read your fanfic and i must say that i'm enjoying every minute of it so far... Chapter 7 is one of my favorites so far...i love how you have Frodo describe why every member of the Fellowship could not have taken the Ring and why he was the ideal choice... The reasons you provided were so fitting! The reason why Merry couldn't/shouldn't have taken the Ring was a very strong point that you made... =)
I also love your depiction of Sam... so loyal, so concerned, always at Frodo's side...
I also loved your scene where Merry and Pippin tried to ask Sam what had happened in Mt. Doom... your scenes of Frodo and Eowyn are commendable as well =)

Great job so far! And i'll be reviewing the last chapter perhaps.. i can't wait!
You're a great writer!
Good job! =)

Author Reply: Thank you! I'm glad that the reasons made sense to you. And as for Merry, the "representative scene" for him, I think, is the "Conspiracy Unmasked" while the hobbits are at Crickhollow. That's the scene that convinces me that Merry wouldn't be a good choice -- because of his virtues. Not because of any vices...

I haven't finished it yet, Gentle Hobbit, but I had to stop a moment just to say -- oh, this is good! Aragorn's meeting with Frodo in the throne room, making him say who else in the Fellowship could have been trusted with the Ring -- wonderful! And I'm dying to see how Fellen fits into the story. Must get back to it --

Author Reply: It has been almost a year since you left this review -- and yet somehow I missed it until now. I'm sorry! I have enjoyed all your stories so much that I feel compelled to respond even though, for all I know, you don't even use this email address anymore.

Thank you for your review. I have written several other fics since then, but this one remains my favourite. I am so glad that you enjoyed it.
