Surely its simple. You've watched the film so many times, where the pace is quite fast and furious. Now when you read the books things get bogged down in the description and details. Lest we forget a picture tells a thousand words and where describing the landscape in the book may take 3-4 pages it just flashes by in the film.
I never read a book of the film I've seen. I enjoy the H. Potter films yet, as a result, I have never had the slightest inclination to read the books.
I suggest you read "Bored of the Rings."
Its a much better way to get behind the true nature of the characters. It can be a little 'accademic' though it's by far the most authoritive work on the whole LOR saga. Plus it's a lot shorter. |
