So I just read The Lord of the Rings and I am so disappointed that they left out the whole “Saruman taking over the Shire” chapter.
1 Lobelia Sackville- Baggins redemption ( trying to beat up a ruffian with her umbrella, the fact the whole Shire LOVED her after this, and how she gave Frodo Bag End and her inheritance after she died within the next year.
2. The fact the orcs/half orcs called Saruman Sharkey. Saruman thought it was an affectionate nickname, but it actually came from the Orkish word for “old man”(as said in the footnotes). For some reason I found this hilarious.
3. The fact that 70 men died and only 19 hobbits died.
4. The hobbits creeping out and surrounding the ruffians,and they all surrendered.
5. I loved how when the Shirrifs saw the revolution the joined it instead of stopping it!
DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE HOBBITS!
I would heavily suggest reading Tolkiens’ works.
