Well, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one to like the beginning. (Not in EE FotR, but elsehow.) People always say that "Oooh, the beginning in [~insert practilly any book here~] is sooo boring/long/stupid etc." and I just love them... I think beginnings are some of the best parts of books, except endings if they're good. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Anyways, to the point now. I read LotR before the movies, so I can't talk for that one, but other books. For example I years ago saw a film based on an Isabel Allende book, and (of coinsidence, as I didn't know there even was a book) read the book. It was a good book, but I could remember most of it, like "And then she's going to... and then they'll... so that's were she..." It became a bit boring. So I see your point, Anduin angel 44. Being who I am, I would read it anyways, just to be able to say "I read LotR!" but I don't know what you should do. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
