For me, I tried reading it years ago and it felt slow like he was going into too much detail about things that didn’t matter, like the slope of the road or some such. After the movies came out and I enjoyed them, I decided to go back and give it another try. What finally made me stop was when I realized a scene he was describing that was dull and boring in the book was actually exciting and intense in the movie. I’m glad for the people who like it, but I’m glad I got to see the story in movie form instead.
Worst book I’ve finished?
Probably Fellowship of the Ring.
Return of the King was great, though.
There are worse books I started and put down.
What was wrong with fellowship for you? I know its a slow book but haven’t heard someone actively hate it

I didn’t say I hated it.
If I hate a book I don’t finish it.
Fair enough, im still curious
