why do people dislike lord of the rings?

[Goldberry]

I know a girl who took a month to read ROTK!!!!

Lathriel, it took me over a month to read each LotR book! A month would be quite fast for me. I read slowly, not because I cannot read fast, but because I like to read slowly so that everything can sink in and I can understand things. I can read fast, but I miss a lot of the details that way. (I know, that was off topic.) [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

I think people don't like Lord of the Rings for many different reasons, most of which were already named. My friend doesn't like Lord of the Rings because "It's too boring." I don't understand how she can say that, as she has never even picked up one of the books. Maybe people think that they will be considered geeky if they like it, or maybe it is too long and sort of scares people away. Whatever the reason, I think anybody who doesn't like Lord of the Rings is crazy! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
