I bought and read the 4 books (Hobbit & Lord of the Rings trilogy)
back in the mid 70s. Very good read. My only issue was how they would
get to some exciting point then go off to some other thing, leaving
you hanging for a hundred pages or so. I hate that, and not all
authors do that.

I've tried watching the movies but they seem very slow (yawn) so I've
never really watched them. I might re-read the book again.
