Salix has just left Hobbiton.
Silmaril

I must agree with the people that said that the books were better. The books give many plot lines that movies just can't cover. And the books give more details, and the thoughts of the characters. Like it says in the book WHY Frodo wanted to put on the Ring when the first Black Rider approached, but in the movie all he does is rools his eyes and almost puts on the Ring. But movies are good too as then you can see faces and places. Even if they aren't the same as what you imagined, then it's all right since if you have a block in your mind as how to imagine Rivendell for example, then the movie could help. On the other hand for both, when I first started reading The Hobbit, I was reading my school library's copy, which just happened to be illustrated by the cartoon version of the hobbit. Now the cartoon characters are stuck in my head. Okay I'll shut up now.
