Did LOTR need more action? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

One of the reasons The Lord of the Rings is so good is that the action is paced perfectly. Add in a few extra battles and it becomes just another 'someone-else-dies-every-second-page' thriller.

But this book is more than that.

Don't worry about it. Every single thing in the world is 'boring' to at least 50% of the world's human population.
