At first I did too, but after I read it for the second time, I learned to appreciate Tolkiens writing even more, and that even the parts with no action, or extreem drama, are still compelling.

i can understand how someone thinks it's boring. the first time i read the book, i had trouble getting through certain sections. i also think that tolkien wrote in a different generation from ours. he wrote for an audience who was a little more patient than we(we're so used to having everything instantly and quickly). so he took his time developing the story etc. so, when reading older literature, the task is bridging that gap between generations and learning to read it in the manner that it was supposed to be read. obvioiusly, the whole book is not rip-roaring action, there's some long history sections and such...it just takes more than one reading to really get into it. there, that's my little "english literature scholar" speech!

not as boring as the beginning of Fellowship, but yes, it was rather slow. compared with ROTK which just brings you straight into the story.

The point that Sauron made is exactly what I think. If Sam loved Rosy why did he keep makin creepy moves on Frodo?

i didnt think that the beginning of TT was boring, but the beginning of FotR i thought was a bit boring..but thats just because i like alot of action, and FotR was the starting book where they decided to do everything..so they HAD to do all that.

Non, I do not agree. Then again, I have my own opinions.

I didn't, that's my opinion on all the three books. I like Tolkien's writing, so I didn't find the beginning boring. I need variation, I can't have action and excitement all through the book. Me, too! I can't stand completely action through the entire of anything! I actually like the non-action bits better! (for the most part) ;D
