Yes, I liked this chaper alot, because it filled in some history about the ring and how it got where it is, and who gollum was(for those of us who have yet to read the Silmaril <img src=smile.gif ALT=""> ) Also this chapter set up the plot of the trilogy, to deal with the One Ring. It more or less (pardon my awkward phrazing) evilizes Sauron, and why the Ring must be dealt with. And this chapter also answers some important questions in the dialogue between Gandalf and Frodo. There that's my opinion for now.
