I have loved the Lord of the Rings moves since the day they came out. I have watched and rewatched the extended cuts more times than I can count. But I have never read the books before. So today I started to read the Lord of the Rings series and The Hobbit. I have started with "The Fellowship of The Ring" and so far I am not disappointed.
I will say I am surprised at the pacing, everyone I have talked to about them kept warning me how slow they are. They told me how much Tolkien loves to take his time describing the landscape and scenery. So I was expecting Russian author levels of descriptions. But I am about 30% of the way through Fellowship and I have to say that the pacing is fine. its high fantasy so it does take some moments to describe the plants and the vibes but nothing that makes it seem "slow" in my opinion.
