[Rq-rules] And next we have...

[Peter Maranci]

It's just like that damned Tolkien, stealing the concept of halflings and
treants and balors. Does he really think that changing the names
ever-so-slightly would fool anyone?

And his novelizations of the movies stink! Who the hell is Glorfindel, and
why did he steal so many of Arwen's lines?

:D
