Well I know a lot of people in the world of fantasy books, will consider this blashamoy, but well I had been reading the Lord of the Rings books by Toliken, and well untill the movie came out I had not even heard of the books or him, becasue at that time I was still fairly new to fantasy reading, but the movie looked really cool, so I saw it, and I loved the movie triilogy so I decdied I should read the books, and I figured you know, if you read fantasy you should read Tolilken, but I have to say, I think this is one of the rare cases, and perhaps the only case in my personal experince in which the movies were acutally better then the books. In the books the chachaters just seemed flat to me, and underdeveloped, and the book just felt dry, and I really was not enjoying reading it. It seemed as if more attention was paid to the detail of the setting and scernery then the story and chatacters themselves, and it just was not doing it for me, so eventrually I just stopped reading. I got somewhere around the middle of the secound book when I decdied that I was not getting anything out of reading it, and there were other things I wanted to read instead, and well I knew how it ended so I just put it aside, and now I am getting ready to start Wizards First Rule, the first book in the Terry Goodkind Sword of Truth series.
