Well, seems like all doesn't have the same taste (-;

But Tolkien says in the forword of LotR something like:
	Some of you might find some passages boring and longish,
	others of you might like these parts but not certain other
	parts of the trilogy... However I felt that in order to make
	the story complete and make everybody equally satisfied the
	story couldn't be any shorter.
	[This is my own interpretation (it's about 2years since
	 i read LotR.]

OK, you don't like it fine, but the majority does!
