I am currently halfway through The fellowship of the Ring, and am finding it boring and really slow (doesn’t help that I’ve been reading it for 4 months), I started reading it cause I read that it was similar to dune and I loved that book, but so far I have not found the similarities and can’t seem to get into it.
Also The lord of the rings movies are considered one of the best movies of all time so I always feel like that experience would be comparable to reading the book.
I loved the hobbit more than the lord of the rings. But I never found them boring. Admittedly, Tolkien was a very wordy writer.but his attention to detail and explanation is part of the books appeal. If you’re having trouble keeping interest. Take a break and go back to it later.
