I can understand why some of you would dislike the Council of Elrond chapter, and I agree it can drag on for a while. Though in that one chapter Tolkien was explaining what's going to happen and what the consequences would be if they just did nothing, and in the movies, PJ , Fran, and Phillipa had some trouble writing that scene.
My favorite chapter in the books would have to be the Minas Tirith chapter in the RotK book.
My least favorite, was more when Frodo and crew first start their journey.
I don't realy like the council, simply cause it's long, it's not boring though, so i read it every time (6 so far 🙂) I can't choice a favorite, are you kidding? that's too hard 🙂 has anyone read the Simmarillian? (i can't spell it 😛) i'm reading it and it's interesting, but long...anyone read Leaf and Tree?? a 25 p. essay by Tolkien? I did, interesting, but kindof boring 🙂 Tolkien loves to talk 🙂
minas trinth and plennor feilds were confusing. its like minas trinth under attack then all of sudden the riders of rohan, came then i don't remember eliphants and where the heck did ghost army come from. (this is when i read the book) Then aragon was fighting with mouth of sauor then they were crowning the king. it was like suddenly going from one part to the other. the rest was god. i wishhed the smauir guys from ttt were oin rotk, then this would have beaten spiderman.
I never got the dead army that good, but that's ok 🙂 the field chapter(s) isn't that hard...you must have skipped something, but Aragorn can't fight the mouth of Saroun (because he doesn't) and he's king so...yeah, I don'tknow what you're reading 😛 and what are the "smauir" guys? and ROTK pwns Spiderman 🙂 Oh, smodden....i thought it was Eyown....or did you not mean her? sorry 🙂
