It's not for everyone, that's for sure, but it kept my attention and excitement all the way to the end for me

For me, it felt too much like reading a history book. Some of the stories were interesting though.

Agreed, very interesting Have you read Lord of the Rings?
-
Yeah, and the Hobbit. I’ve also seen the movies, although that was a while ago.

The books are the best, and the movies too for that matter.

It was interesting to read the books after watching the movies. The books have a more light, comic feel, while the movies are dark and depressing.

I agree. The movies take parts like Gandalf or the Nazgul and make them quite a bit stronger or dark, but in the example of the Army of the Dead and Shelob, it was quite a bit watered down and lighter
