Don't give up on Fellowship, it is a really great book. It is slow in some parts but that is just because they are introducing you to an entire new world that is very complicated with new people, languages, and a history. I love the movie, but the film lacks the detail and the things that makes Tolkien's works really great. The movie was a good representation of the story in the film world, but it is still not complete compared to the book.

How old are you? or really are you young or old? If you are young maybe Saucepan Man is right, just wait a little bit. I tried reading FOTR in 7th grade and became extremely confused. I waited a couple of years till I was older and then re-read the book. I understood it, enjoyed it, and it is now one of the best books I have ever read in my life. It is not the most easy books to read, but if you put in some effort and get through some of the slow parts, I know you will love it in the end [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
