The Lord of the Rings was also much darker in tone than The Hobbit. Although both books had challenges and death along the way, The Hobbit was more contained in its stakes, while The Lord of the Rings was much grander. This can actually be reflected in the other shared character of the stories, Gollum.

The Hobbit introduced readers to Bilbo Baggins. In The Lord of the Rings, four more hobbits are brought into the limelight: Merry, Pippin, Frodo, and Sam. ... In the end, it is ultimately Sam who appears to be the true main character and hero because he is the most consistent in his heroism.

The Lord of the Rings books are incredibly boring. I'll be honest, I'm not much of a reader. In fact, I don't read at all. ... It's also such a mind-fuck to read, I've had to go over most sentences several times before I understand it, because of this strange, drawn-out way they're written.

And many, many more archetypes. The Lord of the Rings is a classic, both as a book and in film. Its influence is only so great due to its conformity to archetypal story-telling elements while still creating a new world for people to be immersed in and love.

No, the book is better than the movies. (Lord of the Rings is one novel, not a trilogy.) Of course, any adaptation has to change the story, and, in a story as long as LOTR, leave things out. ... In the book, the hobbits receive a letter introducing them to Strider, but in the movie they simply decide to trust him.

Peter Jackson made Hobbits look so tiny with this mind trick. Forced perspective takes control over the way our brains interpret size. In The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Frodo the hobbit appears minuscule beside the absurdly tall wizard, Gandalf. But in reality, the pair of actors have a mere 5-inch height difference.
