I failed to finish this final book so many times as a teenager, but I’ve finally done it on audio. Its biggest flaw is that the plot of Frodo and Sam is so engaging, that it’s hard to care about the epic elements surrounding Gondor and Rohan and the elves and ents. But I’m glad that I finally saw the ring meet it’s fate, and experienced the aftermath.
