The old white men in my comments can suck my dick. My point stands years later. This book is only good because of nostalgia. All of these characters are men and for what? I don’t have to look past that just because this is a classic. Leave me alone and stop trying to “explain” how I’m not “getting it”. I got it just fine and I hated it. Fuck off and go get a life.

I hate this book. No, I DESPISE this book. This book is going on my top 10 most hated books of all time. I don’t think this book is awful, but I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. The writing is sooo dull, and the amount of telling instead of showing infuriates me. We’ve been reading this in class for 2 months, and I still hate it. The amount of times I’ve been told to dissect the deeper meaning in Tolkien’s DRY ASS WRITING, and explain why Tolkien did this, I’m so done with this book. And why can’t we have ANY women? We read about a whole ass village of men. How do these people even procreate. Maybe Smaug is the life giver. I’m so done with this book, I hate it, and I will never think about this again.


(Some of y’all may say I’m to young to appreciate it, I don’t care. I’ve read classics from the 1700s that I can whole heartedly appreciate, and this book is written by an old white man in the 30s. I don’t need to appreciate this book).
