I'm not a huge fan of the Lord of the Rings books. I couldn't even finish The Two Towers. I felt the whole thing got bogged down in superfluous background explanations and excessive useage of obscure character's names. That's just my opinon as I know lots of people love it. I did, however, absolutely love The Hobbit, probably because it was a more streamlined story. I am having a hard time figuring out where they'll get three movies worth of material, though.
