Title: the movie was better, spare yourself....
Review: As a dedicated reader of 20 or more years,i went back and read this after seeing the movie. honestly, skip the books,the writing is stilted, dialog poor. 20 some years ago, we all read tolkien and loved it, becuase there was not a lot else to read!. i worked my way thru this and prayed everyone would just fall into the crack of doom, and end the book. my reading friends all concurred w me,can't wait for part two of the movie.
