Title: Poor performance after other outings
Review: After reading Tolkien's books The Hobbit and Lord Of The Rings, I felt I had to read the other ones-they were so great. When I first started to read the book, I was thoroughly disappointed. It was boring and slow, and the opening was terrible- I never even bothered to read it all. After Tolkien's first books, this was a thorough dissapointment.
