Has anyone noticed the similarities between Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and Salvatores "In sylvan shadows" (book 2 of cleric quintet).
Example number 1:
Elbereth, the Elvish prince, is actually in Tolkien's poem when they meet the elves in teh Fellowhip of the ring, chapter "Three is company"
Example number 2:
In the same book, the awakening of the trees to kill off the invaders was blatantly ripping off the ents in the two towers.
Example number 3:
Galandell? Galadriel? sound similar?
And remember the fact that by reading the lord of the rings, it got him started on the road to fantasy, (it made him change his degree to journalism from computer science) What do YOU think about these startling facts?
