i did it!! the ending was really nice. except for the part where it said sam married some girl named rosie?? i assume that was a typo and it meant to say frodo. other than that, excellent

It’s been 24 years since the first time I read The Lord of the Rings series and oh the things that I had forgotten. My heart broke over and over for Frodo and reforged by the love of Samwise and bravery of Merry and Pippin. It’s funny to me that in the forward for Fellowship, Tolkien said he’d purposefully written a “boring” story when this series is far from boring. I absolutely reread this series at the right time in my life and will forever love it.
