Title: BORING...Doesn't compare to Shannara series
Review: I know everyone says Tolkien started it all...blah blah balh...Everyone else is a rip off...blah blah blah.But I read Hobbit, then I forced myself to finish Fellowship, then got half way through the next book and gave up.I've got one word for this book...BORING! Too many songs...I found myself sifting through chapter when Tolkien decides he is going to spend 50 pages on a meal or a night of talking.I read these books following my reading of the Shannara series (Sword, Elfstones, Wishsong) and there is no comparison. Terry Brook's novels are sooo much more exciting and compelling with the perfect amount of character development and scene descriptions. I don't 6 pages of a scene description like TOlkien does. The Hobbit seems like a Childs book to me, since there really isn't much of a evil force. Fellowship just bored the living hell out of me. I put the book down for several weeks at a time since I fell asleep just about every time I read it.
Is the review positive or negative?
