Book Review of The Fellowship of the Ring (The Lord of the Rings, Part 1)

The Fellowship of the Ring (The Lord of the Rings, Part 1)

Helpful Score: 1


This was one of the most boring books I've ever read. The book was written in a way that even though exciting things were happening, they actually WEREN'T exciting, and I got bored. I got bored early on and that boredom never went away. And there are times where nothing WAS happening and I can't help but wonder why either this book or the whole series is even popular.

This is one of the only instances where the movie is incredibly better than the book. If you felt like strangling Frodo during the movie, DON'T read the book, he's even more whiny, which I didn't think was possible until I read the book.

I'd rather poke my eyes out than read this book (or the series) again.
