Basically different reader have different opinions, which is normal.

To quote Tolkien (Foreword LotR 2nd Ed.):
"Some who have read the book, or at any rate have reviewed it, have found it boring, absurd or comtemptible; and I have no cause to complain, since I have similar opinions of their works, or the kind of writing that they evidently prefer."


:lol:

*LOL*
Nah, 4k pages wouldn´t be enough.

Indeed.

You've entirely missed the point of all this. The point is not that people have different opinions, it's that B4ndit stated something as fact that clearly wasn't fact. I said before that I couldn't care less whether he likes the book or not (like Tolkien in that quote above). He just needs to be clear that that was his opinion, and not a "fact".

Edit: And yes, "senselessness" is an english word.

wow,two pages plus of posts because someone was a little sloppy in using perfect english when it is pretty clear what was meant by all involved. people are just giving their opinions and that is just fine. the real problem is that we dont seem to have too much to say about what happened in the book in question, which says a lot about posters thoughts on the book (in my opinion- not fact) :roll:
