I believe it took the author, nearly two decades to finish this great work. It was a blessing that PJ was the one to do it, now at this time, if not, we could have waited another 10 years or more, for someone else to find the courage to put everything on the line, to do this. Tolkien may have felt, that he was writing a simple story, with the reflection on humanity as the source...then explain to me, after all this time...why now, do they still strike a chord with us, to this very day. The trilogy(movie) has only enchance the presence of the books, more so, now than ever(maybe I will buy them, when things slow down for me...LOL). And the trilogy, are just an interpretation...nothing more, a massive attempt, not actual canon, in my book...that is a world of headache to do...chances were taken, opportunties lost and gain, and in the end, a gamble. A unbelieveable successful one at that. Let the end results speak for themselves, from now, and to the possible future, if this outline 'verison' will qualify as an interpretation to the author's work. On that, to each their own.</blockquote>
