Title: Dragging, too long, boring, but has its moments
Review: I think I will never understand why people are veneratingJRR Tolkien like the author of the century. I mean, yes hewrites beautifully and he created a world so deep and detailed.So I guess The Lord of the rings is a great book, in the sensethat it's a nicely crafted piece of word art and creativity.However, I usually like more selfcontained stories where moredepth is given to less characters. This story goes left andright into thousands of sidestories that are not all veryinteresting. The full story itself could have been containedinto one 400 pages book instead of three painful tomes. Thisoverdescriptive and dragging work, "masterpiece" is highlyoverrated and I only recommend it to people who have a LOT oftime to kill.On the other hand, the movie was totally awesome. It grabbedall the essential aspects of the book and bundled that intoa superb film. Leaving out all the uncessary babbling thatmake this book a painful read.
