Excellent! A side of Boromir rarely seen, I think. And very well told. Bravo! You're on my favorites list!

Really enjoyed this one! So many stories are told over and over again, it's nice to see a new story.

I liked:

1.The slipping in of secrets (Thorongil, the palantir) that we know but the characters don't.
2.The characterization--Boromir as a mischievous little boy, Bilbo as a brave but matter-of-fact hobbit who has been on quests.
3. The humor--Boromir playing "the Great Burglar"

Use of a little boy's POV and phrasing--good.
Judicious use of description and adjectives--good.

I noticed a few tiny comma and typo problems--nothing important, but we could all use that second pair of eyes to look over the story.

If you don't have anyone else I could volunteer...

At any rate, congratulations for a fun story and a perspective on Boromir that was unusually creative!

Hey there! i very much enjoyed your story "Burglar". The idea is most intriguing and completely plausible. And the foreshadowing of Denethor's ultimate madness due to use of Palantir very well done. Loved to finally see Boromir's relationship with his mother, and too, That Thorongil-aragorn was so gentle with the infant Boromir. And to include Bilbo in the stor idea was a refreshing change. Thank you

This is a wonderful wonderful WONDERFUL story! Please write more like this!

Anything with Boromir in it is great - and anything where Boromir is happy is even better!

To make another laugh when they are sad is truly the mark of a hero.

Three cheers for Bilbo Baggins!

And three cheers to you, as well!

An absolutely lovely story! I'm gonna add it to my Son of Gondor C2 community. :) Oh, and I wanted to whine a bit about your Hector/Ody story, but I see you've updated - Enfin! Great. Thanks!

hey that was really good You always come up with the most creative stories!! I really like them,just a suggestion ut it would be a great story if you wrote about Aragorn telling Boromir who he was, you know Thorongil. It would be really interesting,cause in the movie Aragorn almost looked hurt at how Boromir was treating him in the council.Its just an idea but I thought it was interesting, anyways i hope you continue to write your excellent stories and you know i of course will continue to read them.

And I hope that you will remember to update the story in Troy soon. You really do have a gift!!

A fact from here and a fact from there - you have woven them together into a plausible and truly wonderful tale.
Thank you.
