Thank Gods! No one around here or in my inner circle cried at the end of LOTR... but I did! Maybe because when I ended with the Ring falling with Gollum, I thought.. ' That was it..?". but there were chapters afterwards. I was so scared to read them! I felt it coming... something really big... some revelation perhaps... and without reading yet, I recall stuff like " where the hell did that 70's 'Frodo Lives' thing come from... you mean he dies?... But he can't!". I started cheating may way through it... asking for clues ( just clues) then finally my Dad told me that Frodo was soon to 'overgrow' ME. Whatever that meant. Hastily afterwards I finish it. Overwhelming!!! The perfect good-bad ending that tugs at the heart! It couldn't have been any better. So my tears were not for naught!
