Hmmm I finally got around to reading the lord of the rings and what can I say? There were many moments where I felt the tale was plodding and wished the story would change points of view more often (100 or so pages of Frodo and Sam walking was a bit much at times). But then I reached the end and suddenly I realised how much I cared about the characters (The farewells were heartbreaking.) When did this happen? How did I become emotionally attached without even realising it? But then this must be the magic and legacy of Tolkien...
