When I first read The Lord of the Rings in sixth grade it took me one month to finish the first chapter, and one month to finish the rest of the series. I would often tell people that the first chapter sucks, but the rest of the book is great. I was wrong. I got the books for my birthday and started reading them today. Upon second reading (this time taking only two hours), I found the first chapter to be very enjoyable and quite funny.

So, uh, if I ever told you that the first chapter isn't good; I lied. Sorry.
