I have to admit that when i first checked the books out of the library long long ago, i took all three of them out at once. At the end of the first book, i was so excited about what was going to happen next that i must admit I peeked at the synopsis at the begining of the third book that sums up the first and second books. I know, I know, but I couldn't help it. I was, however surprised about Frodo's fate and his voyage at the Grey Havens. Even though I sympathise what he was going through, I sometimes feel that he overreacted at times, feeling wiser and sorrier for himself than he really should have. Tell me if you agree, or if I am just being naive.
