Title: Great book...but I'm glad the movies are out!
Review: Love this series and love the final book. I just re-read it to prepare myself for the movie. As much as I love the books, I'm so glad Peter Jackson veered from the book and beefed up the roles of Legolas, Gimli, in addition to the battle scenes. Tolkien was one of the greatest creative minds of all time, but he didn't do a good job with the action, nor with Legolas and Gimli. I do love how he wrote Aragorn, Gandalf, Frodo, Samwise and the other hobbits. All in all, a great book and a great series (and an amazing set of movies!). I wish Tolkien were still around to write more adventures. I would have loved to know what happened to some of those guys and gals!!!
