: You get the basic gist from the movie without the boring overuse of word by Mr. Tolkien. I got mad props for Tolkien's intent with the trilogy, and I understand that, to fulfill the intent, he had to be wordy, but Jesus fucking Christ. Reading the Lord of the Rings is like trying to read the dictionary with your eyes half open after being awake for 48 hours.
while sitting in gym class with my friend. i got bored and went back to sitting on my ass watching people play basketball and talking about sex with the girls. perhaps ill pick it up again someday but i doubt it. im not a huge fan of fantasy books anymore. i like it more when i can see it on screen
