I read the book and I loved it. I read it again and again I loved it. Then time passed. The movies came out and the books drew my interest again. Now I am a real fan.
What I found annoying was that my friends thought Denethor was just evil. I had to explain to them over and over again how Denethor got caught by the Dark Lord through the Palantir. I think I have now convinced them that Denethor is not so bad afterall. Or at least it wasn't his fault that he became crazy.
Do you ever have the problem that one of your family members is just driving you up the wall with all their questions but they refuse to read te book. My brother was like that but my answers were either very confusing or very open-ended. So FINALLY I got him to read the book and he loved it.
That was one of the greatest accomplishments of my life.
