Without the Scourging of the Shire , LOTR loses much of it's impact imho - It just goes to prove how brilliant an author - correction , story-teller Tolkein was - how many other authors would think , or dare , to use the seemingly climatic finale at Mount Doom only as a precursor to the hobbits' poignant return to the Shire? |
