not as bad as I thought it's going to be, but still wasn't my favorite.. there were some parts of the story that were interesting for me, but at some point if got boring.. I feel like I should have liked it more since it's everyone's favorite and such a classic, but its just not for me.. I found the songs annoying at some point (maybe because I was listening to it) and I didn't like the story all that much. Glad I read it, but I doubt I would have picked it up if it wasn't for the book club, and I wont read it again.

so ashamed that it took me so long, but when i had time to read, it felt like hours (/pos) its such a good adventure and so inspiring.
its sad that the dwarves werent given much personality, but its understandable. i did think there would be more yaoi but i can work with this. gandalf is such a curious creature, i feel like he sounds so much sillier and out of this world than in the movies (of what i remember)
i really like this "old" writing style. its easy for a non native at my level. i cant wait to read lotr

This book was absolutely wonderful!! I truly enjoyed every single moment of it!
