Lord of the Rings

Incredible world building. Incredible story overall. Tolkien needs an editor and needs to take much less inspiration from the KJV Bible. The bad guys in this entire series are two dimensional. The end bit with Saurumon is silly. Sauron remains a mystical almost satanic figure. I knew we didn’t meet him because I’ve seen the movies. But still disappointed.

LotR is great. But very flawed.

Finally done. Got very distracted by the four major video games that just came out and being best man. So long to finish.

Anyways. Reading this it became radically clear this is supposed to be one big book rather than three.

The split adventure format is fun and a nice alternative to the film’s structure.

IDK what else to say. This is amazing. I still maintain it needed better editing. But incredible shit.

Homie could’ve used an editor. Sam is the best. Boromir sucks. I hope I never see Tom Bombadil or his weird wife again.
