Spoiler in his own book!
When I last read TTT a couple of months ago I noticed a bit of a spoiler in the chapter 'The Uruk Hai'. It describes the part where Merry drinks the Orc draught and it washes the pain away from the gash in his forehead; "it gave him no more trouble, but he bore a brown scar to the end of his days".
This, to me anyway, suggests that he is going to live for a few more years and doesn't die at the hands of the orcs which on a first reading spoils the suspense a little bit. Any more pettiness out there? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
