Did you even read the books? There is a little too much story there. The man was a nut ball. The reason they changed things because if they hadn't, each movie would have been 19 hours long.

I stopped in the middle of Two Towers, and for some reason I don't feel like reading the rest...

Two Towers was the best out of the three in my opinion. That book was fabulous.

I'll pick it back up eventually. Probably in the summer when I go back to work. I still have The Silmarillion to read, which is a major project in itself.

HAHA! Same here. I ditched the books in the middle of Two Towers. Frankly the books seem kinda gay to me. All they do is sing and tell poems...and that Tom Bobadil was a stupid f***er!

Bombadil f*cking ruled!! And Gimli was only in it for the beheadings! I will not tolerate your tone.

Bombadil was a little odd, but I'll have to agree with Voltron. He was the ****ing man.

To be honest, I can't believe they left him out. That guy was a maniac. Mordor wasn't even going to come near that guy they were so creeped out.

The cliffhanger at the end was great, a lot better than in the movie!
The scenes with Bombadil were kinda disturbing. Like the Hobbits were on drugs and just made him up (we know they've been smoking a lot). Didn't he undress the Hobbits when they fell into a river and then tell them to run through the grass naked to dry themselves (it's been some time since I read the books)?
