This is a masterpiece of a Christmas story, and you were robbing yourself of the perfect experience if you do not listen to the audiobook done by Tim Curry.
It took me a really long time to get around to reading this book every time I put it down just because the movies are such an amazing adaptation that ever time I tried reading it I felt like I was reading the extended extended edition with some not as good plot points such as Tom bombadill, the Gardner, and the fact that Arwen was basically not in the book at all.
But I did find myself really enjoying it after the fellowship was formed because I then got enthralled with the characters Im already in love with and getting to read more about their history and reading new dialogue.
That being said if you want to read something that completely sucks you into a new world this is a great read but overall I completely understand why so many people who aren't already fans of the films have a hard time reading these books.
read this cause I want to read every book i own and i needed something i could quickly finish
i hated every character except jason and david, and david is hardly in this.
Catherine is pretty damn intolerable, but i understand her frustration at times because her parents are the worst. kristi was by far my least favorite character, she never once talked to catherine about anything that wasn't about herself, felt no need to understand david or even ask questions, and was just genuinely awful.
