    The lord of the rings!

    I love reading…I read a lot. But Tolkien’s style just never worked for me, the movies were great.

      I like Tolkien’s style, but I get it. If you’re not prepared to hear everything described in excruciating detail, maybe just stick with the Hobbit.

      I agree with thus, I tried the books and got pages in before abandoning them, the movies are well done

      I liked most of the books, but I hate the long songs. Maybe this is a hot take but authors should not put in songs longer than a few lines.

        Yeah no I hate songs in books. Most of the time it’s pretty hard to figure out what the actual tune of the song is supposed to be sung like, unless the author’s pretty good at it, and most aren’t.

          I remember hearing that tolkien when reading the songs aloud never sang them, so noone really knows what they should sound like
