Title: not very good
Review: This book is quite boring and goes off on long tangents that have nothing to do with the plot of the whole story. It is like Tolkien started this set without any outline or idea where it was going. The next two books far surpass this one. It was a struggle for me to get through this book. Just because everyone is in love with Tolkien does not make this book good. I know he did not have the format modern writers do for their series but that still does not make this book good. I think that most raters overlook how poor this book is because of who wrote it.
Is the review positive or negative?
