A review by janessaalexis
The Ring Goes South by J.R.R. Tolkien
2.0
Oh, man, it feels like this book took me two months to read, and not two weeks.
I was generous with the rating of the first book, because I realize it's importance for the fantasy genre, and how that's shaped popular culture.
But I really didn't enjoy myself this time around. This was compounded by school and work and assignments, true, but I already enjoy the book aside. Having to read this for university, and write assignments for it, didn't help.
Who knows? Maybe I'll read this again later in life and enjoy it more.
