This is my first time reading The Fellowship of the Ring (I've previously only read The Two Towers and the Return of the King), and I've heard people say that they find it slow and boring.
Did I find it slow? Yes, but not in a bad way at all, after all, such an epic tale needs time to fully flesh itself out. Was it boring? Not, at all! I loved every page of it, and if it wasn't for my struggle with anxiety and university workload, I would have finished it much sooner, but alas.
[ Note: I've actually finished it on 20/1/2024, but since I've read most of the book in 2023, I decided to cheat a bit and count it as one of my reads of last year.]
