That's right. The movies were good, but they couldn't reach the books.
But I am very disappointed of new editions of the books. The "translation" into
"nowadays language" kills a lot.
I only got the first part from 1975, the other ones are new and IMHO quite
another style.
But in the movie that loooooooong journey of Sam and Frodo wasn't that loooooong
and boring as it was in the book. I'd took the book away and read it again two
weeks later. (Too dry, too much time without action, colors, etc.)
