Title: Hard work but worth it
Review: I can understand people not liking this series It is at times too slow and filled with seemingly pointless descriptions, I remember in particular a chapter called "The stairs of Cirith Ungol" (Or some such) began with several pages of description which I had to make several attempts to battle through. The series has lengthy moderately enjoyable sections interspersed with some high action. If I stopped reading the series halfway through the final book I would have rated it 2 1/2 - 3 stars, but the ending is so powerful and moving that it just makes you glad you read the whole thing and looking back you feel like you were there on the whole journey with them. Unless you are finding this mindwitheringly dull (as some do) persist to the end. It will be worth it.
