The Fellowship of the Ring

I feel like I need to explain myself with this one. I'd like to emphasize the fact that my review reflects my enjoyment of this book, rather than the quality.

In short:

I love the films, I've seen them hundreds of times, and Tolkein's flowery and elegant prose was more of a detriment to me as a result. This felt like a MUCH slower paced version of the film, which made it really, REALLY tough to get through.

I read them back in High School and decided to try again.
