Tolkien reeeeeally wants you to know where the characters are and what the surroundings look like....
The characters also be like "let me tell you my life story" whenever they interact with another living being...plus they must erupt in a song whenever possible! There's a verse in their pocketsses for every occasion, fear not!

One thing I certainly preferred in the book was Faramir:  I liked him and his arc in the small amount of time we saw him in the movie but in the book...so much better. We don't really know if he's an ally, is he going to try to seize the ring and mess up the mission, what's he gonna do? Alas no, he's a proper gentlemen, I loved his demeanor, his actions, his take on the war, ahh! Also, in the movie they made it seem like they f*cked Smeagol up hence why he reverts back to Gollum but nah, Gollum was just a shithead all along, sry

If you like spiders, even evil ones, then the section with Shelob may bother you?
