The only reason I kept reading is because I forced myself to see what everyone always talks about...
Hopefully it will get better

A very good opening to the LOTR trilogy :) I'm impressed.

Popsugar Reading Challenge 2020: A book with a made-up language

Man, honestly, this is more of a 2/5 stars for me.

But I do recognize that it's a great fantasy foundational novel. The impact it's had on the genre has been immense.

And maybe my love for the movie has influenced my rating.

Excellent! However, the slow pace of this first book drops it to 4 stars for me. Still a wonderful read.
