I couldn't get through them either. They bored me to death! I hated the movies as well. I'm just not a LOTR fan.

That's exactly what I thought when I read them! A complete caricature of all my fav books u.u. Though I'd have to disagree with Nessiah and Amethyst. I think the LOTR books are better than the movies, and his writing style is brilliant. That's just me, though.
Is it really weird that I hate good books because of the way they end? (His Dark Materials, etc.)
