I’ve deleted the posts I put up about The Two Towers, because I’m tired of the e-mails accusing me of revealing plot points. It doesn’t matter to me whether the posts are up or not, but I don’t understand what it means to say I’m spoiling plot points. All I did was speak of the “fate” of a major character; I didn’t say what that fate was, though readers of the book will know what I’m talking about. Every character in a film meets some kind of fate, you know. And I spoke of the You-Know-Whats, without saying what they are or what role they play (again, readers of the book know what I’m talking about, and those who don’t know what You-Know-Whats are will still have the pleasure of discovering them); likewise “Hillary,” my new code name for the giant Awful Thing Whose Name We Must Not Speak (Even Though The Name Means Nothing To Those Who Haven’t Read The Book). If that’s “revealing plot points,” then you complainers must not read reviews.
